- 1壯觀的場面;出洋相;(舊式)眼鏡
A spectacle is something big and impressive to look at - a show, a huge parade, or an sports event can all be called a spectacle. It can also be used a little negatively: if someone shouts and cries in public, you might say they 'made a spectacle of themselves', meaning they themselves in front of everyone. There's an older meaning too - 'spectacles' (always plural) is an old-fashioned word for glasses, the kind you wear on your eyes, though today most people just say 'glasses'.
