1. 1aB2/θrɪld/超開心;又興奮又高興

    Feeling very and very happy at the same time, usually because something very good has happened to you or to someone you care about.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei was thrilled when her teacher said her poem would be in the school magazine.

    逐字美非常興奮又高興,當她的老師說她的詩會被放進校刊的時候。

    thrilled 是「興奮」和「高興」加在一起的那種開心:好消息一來,整個人先愣住、再跳起來。可以想成它就像從 thrill(一陣興奮竄過身體的感覺)長出來的——被那股感覺填滿,而且是舒服、快樂的那一種。比 happy 強得多,比 excited 多了「滿意、高興」(excited 有時候是緊張的興奮,thrilled 一定是好事),比 ecstatic 平淡一點。它放在 be 動詞後面(She was thrilled.),要放在名詞前面時,英文會改用 thrilled 的兄弟字 thrilling(a thrilling game 一場精彩刺激的比賽)。

core核心畫面

Think of the second you read the message that says you got in: happiness and excitement arrive together, and they show up in the body — you stand up, you want to tell someone right now, you cannot quite sit still. Thrilled is that state, and it is usually about something that has just happened to you or to someone you care about.

可以想成:你打開訊息看到「你上了」的那一秒——高興和興奮同時湧上來,而且是身體先反應:站起來、馬上想找人講、坐不太住。thrilled 講的就是這個狀態,通常來自剛剛發生的一件好事,發生在自己身上,或發生在你在乎的人身上。它跟 happy 的差別在於那股衝上來的勁:happy 可以很安靜,thrilled 停不下來。
