Helookedatmeinastonishment.
lostinastonishment惊异不已,十分惊愕
toone’sastonishment使人吃惊的是
Øastonishv.
beastonishedatsth.
Hewasastonishedatwhathefound.
Øamaze,astonish,[astound,shock,]surprise都含有“使…惊异”的意思,而且它们都是一般以事物或他人作主语,以本人作宾语;以本人作主语时用被动形式。
Amaze强调“使惊异,困惑”间或还有“惊叹,佩服”的意思,是意义很强的词,如:
Wewereamazedattheingenuitywithwhichtheysolvedtheirdifficulties.
他在解决困难中所表现的智慧使我们惊叹[佩服]
TheAmericanvisitorswereamazedatthestudents’conversationalfluencyinEnglish.
Astonish表示“使人大吃一惊”、“几乎无法使人相信”,但没有“惊叹”的意思,指因不可能理解或不相信会发生突发事件使人吃惊,语气很强,如:
Iwasastonishedathisrudeness.
Hiswordsastonishedusall.
Hissuddendeathastonishedus.
Astound“使震惊”,指对突发事件的震惊。
语气极强,有“惊恐”的含义
Theearthquakeastoundedusall.
Shock“使震惊”,指对突发事件的震惊,强调心灵深处的震撼反应。
Iwasshockedbyhisrudeness.
Surprise语气较上述词弱,只表示“出乎意外的惊异”,出乎意外的事发生在没有心理准备的人身上,由此产生的冷不防的效果。
如:
Weweresurprisedatfindingthehouseempty.我们惊讶地发现房子是空的。
