用法说明
wonder, amaze, marvel
这三个词都可作“惊奇” 、“对…感到惊讶”解。其区别在于:wonder较普通,用得也较广泛,既可表示赞叹好事,也可表示对坏事感到惊讶。常含有希望了解该事之义。amaze侧重表示面对不太可能或根本不可能发生的事,感到迷惑、困惑。marvel常表示对出众的事物感到好奇,从而引起惊讶。试比较:
I wondered at her voice in the next room. 我听到隔壁传出她的声音,十分好奇。
It amazed her that he was still alive. 他居然还活着,这使她感到困惑。
We marvelled at their skill. 我们对他们的技巧感到惊讶。
