喜樂美語
  1. 1a/rɪˈfreʃɪŋ/cooling, reviving提神的、消暑的

    Making you feel less tired or less hot, and giving you new energy — used about drinks, water, air, wind, and sleep.

    refreshing 講的是「一碰到就讓人整個人醒過來、涼下來」的感覺，像冰水、海風、沖個澡。可以想成把身上的累和熱一口氣沖掉，剩下清爽的自己。中文要看情況換詞：喝的東西多半是「消暑、解渴」，風和空氣是「清爽」，睡覺和洗澡是「提神」。

  2. 2a/rɪˈfreʃɪŋ/pleasantly different令人耳目一新的

    different from what you usually see or hear, so that it is nice to meet after all the usual, boring things.

    這個 refreshing 已經離開身體的涼快，講的是「跟平常那些老套的東西不一樣，讓人覺得舒服」。可以想成第一個意思的延伸：一杯冰水沖掉熱，一個新鮮的做法沖掉膩。它一定要有「大家都那樣，只有這個不一樣」當背景，最常出現在 a refreshing change 和 It's refreshing to...。
