Picture a dial turned right up: the same thing is still there — heat, colour, pain, interest — but concentrated, pressing hard, hard to ignore. The word says nothing about good or bad; it only says the level is high and you can feel it.

可以想成:一個旋鈕被轉到很滿的位置——東西還是同一個(熱、顏色、痛、興趣),只是濃度拉高了,壓過來的力道很強,讓你沒辦法忽略。這個字本身不分好壞,它只說「程度很高,而且你感覺得到」。
