One way to hold this word: strong drink already at work inside someone. First the warmth and the excitement and the up; then the thinking slowing down and the judgement going soft. The word keeps both halves wherever it goes — something wonderful, and a little bit of your good sense gone while it lasts.

intoxicating 的畫面可以想成:一杯很烈的酒正在一個人身上發生作用。先是熱、是開心、是整個人鬆開來;接著是腦子慢下來,判斷力跟著糊掉。這個字走到哪裡都帶著這兩半——很享受,同時有點失去冷靜。字面上它講的是酒;用在香味、氣氛、成功、掌聲上時,說的是「它對你做的事,跟酒一樣」。
