喜樂美語
  1. 1正直的、公義的（道德、宗教用法）；「righteous anger」義憤；早期美式俚語也用來表示很讚、很棒（較過時）

    In serious or religious writing, it describes someone who is morally good and lives by what's right — the opposite of sinful. You'll also see 'righteous anger,' meaning anger that feels justified because something is genuinely unfair. There's also an older, casual slang meaning from decades past — 'righteous' meant 'excellent' or 'awesome,' which you may still hear in old movies.
