    thrilling 形容一件「又刺激又好看、讓人一直想知道接下來會怎樣」的事,常用在比賽、故事、電影、遊樂設施上。它比 exciting 更強一點,而且多了「心跳加快、有點緊張」的味道;比 exhilarating(讓人全身是勁、心情飛揚)更偏「看得屏住呼吸」。可以想成 thrilling 是從 thrill(心裡突然湧上來的一陣激動)長出來的:那陣激動有多強,thrilling 就有多強。

One way to picture it: a that runs right through your body. Something is happening — a race, a story, a moment on a stage — and it grips you so hard that you feel it physically: your pulse speeds up, you lean forward, you are half delighted and half on edge. That mix of excitement with a thread of nerves in it is what the word points at.

一陣穿過身體的顫動。眼前正在發生的事——一場比賽、一段故事、舞台上的某個瞬間——抓住了你,讓你不只是「覺得有趣」,而是身體先有反應:心跳變快、身體往前傾、手心有點出汗。那種興奮裡帶著一絲緊張、既享受又坐不住的感覺,就是這個字要抓的東西。它形容的不是事情本身多重要,而是事情在你身上引起的那股電流。
