    「suddenly」是「又快又出乎意料」——事情一下子就發生，沒有給人準備的時間。它可以放在句子開頭（Suddenly, ...）來製造驚訝，也可以放在動詞前面（suddenly realized）。重點是兩種感覺都有：很快，而且沒料到。

core核心畫面

You can picture suddenly as a moment with no warning gap before it: one second things are calm, the next something has already happened — too fast to brace for, like a door slamming or a phone ringing in a silent room.

可以把 suddenly 想成「中間完全沒有預告」的那一瞬間：前一秒還好好的，下一秒事情就已經發生了，快到你來不及準備。核心畫面比較像安靜房間裡電話突然響起、或一扇門啪地關上——沒有鋪陳，直接就來。
