被推了一下，於是動起來

adjective · B2
Making your body feel more awake and more full of energy, the way strong coffee, cold air or a shower can.
提神的
One way to hold stimulating: something gives you a small push, and you move. You were sitting still — sleepy, or just not thinking about much — and then the coffee, the cold air, the question, the argument arrives, and you are awake and going. The word always describes the thing doing the pushing, never the person being pushed. What changes between its uses is only which part of you wakes up.
「stimulating」的核心畫面可以想成：有東西推了你一下，你就動起來了。原本是停著的——想睡，或是腦袋空空——然後那杯咖啡、那陣冷風、那個問題、那場爭論來了，你整個人就醒了、開始跑了。這個字永遠是形容「那個推你的東西」，不是被推的人。兩個用法的差別，只在於醒過來的是身體，還是腦袋。
