- 1驚險刺激、令人毛骨悚然（偏「怕得過癮」，不是單純陰森）
If something is hair-raising, it you — but in a way that also feels . Your body acts as if the hair on your head wants to stand up. A hair-raising drive down a mountain, a hair-raising story, a hair-raising ride at a fair: you are a little scared, and you might even enjoy that feeling later. Informal. It is a thrill-scare, not quiet sadness and not a slow everyday worry. We put it before a noun (a hair-raising film) more often than after the verb be, though both happen.
hair-raising 是形容詞，形容某件事讓人害怕，卻又帶著刺激、令人興奮的感覺，身體會像頭髮要豎起來一樣。這個字最常用的句型是「a hair-raising ＿＿」，例如「a hair-raising film」，後面接電影、故事或遊樂設施這類名詞。它屬於口語用法，通常放在名詞前面，放在 be 動詞後面也有，但比較少見。它描述的是驚險刺激、怕得過癮的感覺，不是安靜的悲傷，也不是慢慢累積的擔心。
組成hair + raising — from the idea that fear makes the hair on your head lift.
