(单词翻译:单击)
在我们为某事感到惊呆时可以用 jaw-dropping 来形容,类似汉语里的瞠目结舌。
例句
Norway's Lofoten islands are famous for their jaw-dropping views of the Midnight Sun and Northern Lights.
Some pictures by old masters reach jaw-dropping prices at
auction1.
When the rate of
inflation2 was published earlier this week, even the most resilient
corporations3 were concerned about the jaw-dropping data.
请注意
另一个词(美式英语)a jawbreaker 是绕口令。不过绕口令在英式英语里叫 tongue twister.
Speech therapists use jawbreakers like 'the rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain' as an exercise to make people speak more clearly.
