高到那個高度的數字
把那個高度借給數字用。價格、房租、薪水、成績本來在地面,現在被講成已經衝到雲層之上,所以聽的人接收到的不只是「高」,還有「高得不合理」。
adjective · C1
Extremely high — used about prices, costs, rents, salaries, numbers, or a level of success that has gone far past what people expect as normal.
高得離譜
Think of the layer of air that sits above the clouds and above all the weather we feel — the height where the sky looks dark blue and a big plane is still climbing. That height is the whole word. Point it at the air and you get the science meaning; point it at a price and you get a number that has gone up there too.
The source gives stratosphere + -ic, where -ic turns a noun into an adjective meaning 'of or belonging to'. So the word is built directly on the name of that layer of air.
來源資料寫這個字是 stratosphere 加上字尾 -ic,-ic 的作用是把名詞變成形容詞,意思是「屬於…的」。所以這個字從頭到尾都建在那一層空氣的名字上。
