喜樂美語

Picture a wave that comes in far bigger than you are and simply covers you — you can't push back against it, you can only be under it. Overwhelming describes anything that arrives at that scale: a feeling too strong to handle, a place with too much happening at once, or a number so far ahead of the others that nothing else stands a chance.

可以想成一道遠遠大過你的浪打過來，直接把你蓋住——你推不回去，只能待在它底下。凡是以這種規模到來的東西都可以叫 overwhelming：強到承受不住的感覺、一次湧進太多東西的場面，或是大到讓其他選項完全沒機會的數字。
