Audacious means very bold — so bold that people notice. Sometimes it is praise: an audacious plan, an audacious film, someone who dares a hard thing and makes you admire them. Sometimes it is not kind: an audacious lie, an audacious request, someone who has gone too far and is not showing respect. The words around it, and the speaker's tone, tell you which.

Audacious means very boldaudacious意思是非常大膽——so bold that people notice大膽到讓人注意到。Sometimes it is praise有時候是稱讚：an audacious plan, an audacious film像an audacious plan大膽的計畫、an audacious film大膽的電影，someone who dares a hard thing and makes you admire them指敢做困難的事、讓人佩服的人。Sometimes it is not kind有時候不是好意：an audacious lie, an audacious request像an audacious lie大膽的謊言、an audacious request大膽的要求，someone who has gone too far and is not showing respect指做得太過分、不夠尊重人的人。The words around it, and the speaker's tone, tell you which周圍的用字和講話的語氣，會告訴你是哪一種。

It is a grown-up, slightly fancy word. In simple talk people more often say brave, bold, or cheeky. You will see it in news, reviews, and school essays more than in the playground.

It is a grown-up, slightly fancy word這是個成熟、有點花俏的字。In simple talk people more often say brave, bold, or cheeky講話簡單一點時人們更常說brave、bold或cheeky。You will see it in news, reviews, and school essays more than in the playground你在新聞、評論和學校作文裡看到它的機會，比在操場上聽到還多。

Though actually, it never only means 'good and brave'. Brave can be quiet. Audacious has a spark of 'I can't believe they did that' in it — and that spark can be a compliment or a raised eyebrow.

Though actually不過老實說，it never only means 'good and brave'它從來不是只有「好又勇敢」的意思。Brave can be quietbrave可以是安靜的。Audacious has a spark of 'I can't believe they did that' in itaudacious裡帶著一點「真不敢相信他們敢這樣做」的味道——and that spark can be a compliment or a raised eyebrow這種味道可以是稱讚，也可以是挑起的眉毛（懷疑）。
