To scandalize people is to shock them in a moral way. They do not only say "oh!" They feel that what you did, or what they heard, is wrong, shameful, or too much. A teacher who lied about exam marks might scandalize parents. A film that is very rude might scandalize older viewers. The word is a little formal and a little old-fashioned. In everyday talk people more often say shock, or "I can't believe they did that." There is also a spelling scandalise, more common in British English; both are used. You scandalize someone — the people who feel the shock. You do not "scandalize a story". The ugly event is a scandal; scandalize is what that event does to people's feelings.
使震驚、讓人覺得太不像話（偏正式；不是單純嚇一跳）
組成From Latin scandalizō, from Ancient Greek σκανδαλίζω (skandalízō). By the look of the English word, scandal + -ize.
