喜樂美語
  1. 1a/sʊˈpɜːrb/ · /sjuːˈpɜːb/極佳；出色

    Extremely good, especially when something makes you feel very impressed.

    「superb」是英文裡帶讚嘆感的「極好」——用在你真的被打動、覺得品質很高的時候。它比 good 強很多，跟 excellent 接近，但更常帶「哇，太出色了」的語氣。常見搭配：a superb performance（出色的演出）、absolutely superb（簡直太棒了）。

Wiktionary

One way to picture superb: not just good, but good enough that you stop and notice — the performance you talk about afterwards. It already carries its own top mark, so English does not usually stack very in front of it; absolutely or truly are the words that go with it.

可以想成 superb 不只是好，而是好到讓你停下來注意——散場後還會拿出來講的那種表現。它本身已經站在刻度的最上面，所以英文通常不在前面加 very；要加強會用 absolutely 或 truly。
