- 1aB1/ˈmɑːrvələs/ · /ˈmɑːvələs/極好的；很棒的
extremely good, enjoyable, or impressive — so good that it makes you want to say something about it.
示範例句 · Example
We had a marvellous time at Mei's birthday party.
逐字我們在美的生日派對上有了一段極好的時光。
「marvellous」是很強的稱讚，比 good 強很多，跟 wonderful 差不多：好到讓你忍不住想講出來。它可以形容一段時間（a marvellous time）、一個景色（a marvellous view），也可以形容別人做得很好（a marvellous job）。marvellous 跟 marvel（讓人驚奇的事物）是一家人，所以這個字可以想成「好到讓人驚奇」——就像從「哇，怎麼會這麼好」長出來的。它也可以單獨當回答用：「Marvellous!」＝「太棒了！」

core核心畫面
You can picture the moment something is so good that you can't just nod at it — you have to say something out loud. Not merely fine, not merely nice: a meal, a view, a piece of news that pushes you into praising it. The word carries the speaker's reaction more than any measurement of the thing itself.
