- 1雄偉的
Majestic describes something so big, fine, or beautiful that it makes you feel small in a good way — a mountain range, a great hall, a whale breaking the water. It is a slightly formal, word; you would not use it for a cute café or a new phone. It comes from majesty, the greatness of a king or queen, but we now use it as much for nature and buildings as for people. Though actually, if you call a person majestic you are saying they look or move like royalty, which can sound like high praise or a little too grand, depending on your tone. Save it for things that really do take your breath.
