A book or film that tells an story about a crime, often a murder, and keeps you wanting to know what will happen next.
示範例句 · Example
Leo borrowed a spy thriller from the school library and finished it in two days.
逐字里歐從學校圖書館借了一本諜報驚悚小說，然後在兩天內把它看完了。
thriller 是一個「類型」的名字，指的是一本書或一部電影：故事通常繞著一樁犯罪打轉，而且從頭到尾吊著你，讓你一直想知道接下來會怎樣。它可以想成是從 thrill（心跳加快的那種興奮）加上 -er 長出來的字，就像 cooker 是「拿來煮的東西」，thriller 就是「讓你心跳加快的那個東西」——所以它是一本書、一部片，不是一種心情。中文照媒介分成兩個詞：電影說「驚悚片」，小說說「驚悚小說」（也有人說「驚險小說」）。

core核心畫面
You can picture a thriller as a story built to keep you leaning forward: a crime, often a murder, someone chasing the truth, and at the end of every chapter a reason you cannot put the book down. The name comes from what it does to you — a thrill is that quick rush of excitement and slight fear — so a thriller is a story whose job is to produce that feeling again and again.
