喜樂美語

One way to picture lovely: warm approval — something is good and you are glad about it. It started with beauty, but in everyday British speech it has spread far past looks: a lovely afternoon, a lovely man, and on its own as a cheerful yes. It is a spoken, friendly word, so most of these uses belong to conversation rather than writing.

可以想成 lovely 是一種帶著暖意的認可：這東西好，而你也為它高興。它最早講的是美，但在英式日常口語裡早已跑得比外貌遠得多——a lovely afternoon、a lovely man，甚至單獨一個字就是開心的「好啊」。它是口語裡的親切用字，所以下面多數用法屬於對話，不屬於寫作。
