horrific
★
🇺🇸 /hɔɹˈɪfɪk/
🇬🇧 /həˈɹɪfɪk/
形容某件事、场面或经历令人感到强烈恐惧和震惊，语气比普通的“糟糕”或“严重”更重。
💡 记忆钩子
把一个场面想象成让人本能地发抖、想避开的画面：它先表示“造成恐惧的”，再自然延伸为对事故、伤势或暴力场面的强烈评价。
📝 学习建议
- 不要把 horrific 只理解成“很糟糕”；它通常带有恐怖、骇人的感觉，语气明显强于一般的负面形容词。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 骇人的；令人恐惧的📖 指某个场面、事件或经历让人产生强烈恐惧，甚至不忍直视；它强调造成恐惧的效果，而不只是事情严重或结果不好。💡 常用在 horrific + 事件、场面或经历这类结构中，例如 horrific accident 和 horrific sight；也可说 The scene was horrific。它是语气很强的评价词，常见于报道和严肃叙述，中文使用者不要只在表示“糟糕”或“不方便”时使用它。The rescue team arrived after a horrific accident on the highway.高速公路发生了一起骇人的事故，救援队随后赶到。The documentary showed a horrific sight from the war.这部纪录片展示了战争中一个令人不忍直视的场面。
