    Grandeur is the quality of being great in a way you can feel — big, fine, and a little stunning. A mountain range can have grandeur; so can a palace, a ceremony, or the way a person carries themselves. It is impressive beauty, power, or size, often mixed together.

    Grandeur grandeur is是 the quality of being great in a way you can feel那種你感覺得到的偉大特質 — big, fine, and a little stunning宏大、精緻,而且有點讓人驚艷。A mountain range一整片山脈 can have grandeur可以有grandeur; so can也可以有 a palace一座宮殿, a ceremony一場典禮, or the way a person carries themselves或是一個人的儀態。It它 is是 impressive beauty, power, or size令人印象深刻的美、力量,或規模, often mixed together常常混合在一起。

    The word is rather formal and a bit like a book; in ordinary talk people might just say how grand something looks. There is an old dignity in it.

    The word這個字 is rather formal and a bit like a book相當正式,有點書面語的感覺; in ordinary talk在平常說話時 people might just say人們可能只會說 how grand something looks某樣東西看起來有多grand。There is有 an old dignity in it一種古老的尊貴感。

    Though actually, grandeur is not always praise. “Delusions of grandeur” is a set phrase for when someone believes they are far more important than they are. So the word can name real greatness, or only the dream of it.
