- 1膽大包天的人；愛玩命的人
A daredevil is someone who likes doing dangerous things, and who seems to enjoy the risk. Think of a person who jumps from high places, drives too fast for fun, or tries stunts other people would refuse. The word is usually a noun: “He’s a daredevil.” It can also describe the act: daredevil stunts, a daredevil jump. It is not always a compliment and not always an insult. Sometimes it is said with admiration, sometimes with a shake of the head, as if to say “that person is going to get hurt.” Though actually, it does not mean the person is evil, even though devil is sitting in the word. It means they dare the devil — they take on danger as if they were challenging it.
組成dare + devil. A compound that names a person by what they do: “one who dares the devil.”
