A shocker is something that gives you a sudden, strong surprise — most often a news story, a film, or something someone has done. Newspapers and TV reports like this word: they will call a crime, a photo, or a result “a shocker.” It is a bit informal and a bit loud, the way headlines are. Though actually it is not only for bad news; a sports result that nobody expected can be a shocker too. In speech people also say that’s a shocker when they are taken . The shocker is the thing that shocks you, not the feeling inside you. That feeling is shock.
驚人的消息、勁爆事件(新聞標題常用)
