內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介

在漢語(yǔ)里，當(dāng)我們感到驚嘆時(shí)，可能會(huì)說(shuō) “哇！”。英語(yǔ)里的 “Wow!” 也有相似的意思。這個(gè)感嘆詞除了用來(lái)表示驚喜和驚訝，還能怎么用？看視頻，用一分鐘時(shí)間快速學(xué)習(xí) “wow” 的不同用法。

文字稿

The first thing to know about 'wow' is that it's quite informal and we use it mostly when speaking, so our intonation is quite important.

The most common use of 'wow' is as an exclamation to express surprise.

Wow! You've shaved your beard off!

The surprise can be a neutral surprise but it's often a pleasant surprise.

Did you make that cake? For me? Wow!

We also use 'wow' to show wonder or amazement.

Wow! The Moon is so big tonight.

Notice that 'wow' can go at the beginning or at the end of the sentence when used as an exclamation, but it can also be used as a regular verb meaning 'to make other people feel admiration or excitement or wonder'.

She's an amazing pianist. She wows audiences every time she plays.

Has anything wowed you recently?
