1. 1

    To rejoice means to feel or show great happiness, usually because something good just happened. It's a strong, slightly formal word — bigger than just "be happy." You hear it in celebrations, in religious language, and in news headlines ("Fans rejoice as their team wins the championship"). In normal daily conversation, people are more likely to just say "so happy" or "thrilled" — "rejoice" carries a bigger, almost old-fashioned feeling.

    欣喜、歡慶(語氣較正式、莊重)
