Think of the small lift you feel when something turns out nicer than you expected — a garden you walk into, an afternoon that goes well, a person who is easy and warm to talk to. `delightful` can be held as the word for the thing that gives you that lift.

可以想成一種小小的、被托起來的感覺：走進一個院子、一個下午過得剛剛好、或遇到一個聊起來很舒服的人——比原本預期的還要好一點。delightful 可以想成用來形容「給你這種感覺的那個東西」。它比 good 更帶溫度、更私人，又比 wonderful 輕：講的是真實但柔和的愉快，是會讓你微笑、而不是讓你驚呼的那種。原始詞典資料1 筆記錄
