- 1超猛的（語氣粗）
Kick-ass means very strong, very good at what it does, and sometimes a bit fierce or violent with it. You can call a film kick-ass, or a person, or a performance. It is informal American English, and it is rude-ish because of ass (bottom). Younger people use it as praise. You would not say it to a teacher, a you do not know well, or in a job interview. Though actually, the “violent” part is only sometimes there; often it just means good.
「kick-ass」形容東西或人非常強、做得很棒，有時還帶點兇猛的感覺。電影、表演或一個人都可以這樣形容。它是美式口語，因為字裡有 ass（屁股）這個字，語氣有點粗，年輕人常拿來當讚美。
「兇猛」的意思不一定有，很多時候只是說某件事做得很厲害。不過不要對老師、不熟的長輩，或在面試的時候說，因為場合不合適。
