When people call something phenomenal, they almost always mean amazingly good, or so big or strong it is hard to believe: a phenomenal memory, a phenomenal season. It is a loud, happy word, a little informal, and people stretch it until it just means “very.” Though actually there is an older, quieter sense, “about things we can see or experience” (phenomena), and you still meet that in science and philosophy. In everyday talk that sense has almost gone.
驚人的、非凡的
組成phenomenon + -al (“of / like”). The first half goes back to Greek phainómenon, “that which appears.”
