1. 1a/sərˈpraɪzd/ · /səˈpraɪzd/驚訝的;感到意外的

    Having the feeling you get when something happens that you were not expecting, or when you find out something you did not know.

    surprised 講的是「事情跟我想的不一樣,心裡愣了一下」的感覺,被形容的一定是有這個感覺的人:I was surprised、He looked surprised。可以想成 surprise 就像從你沒在看的那一邊冒出來的東西,-ed 把那一下落在人身上。常接 at/by(surprised at the price)、to + 原形動詞(surprised to see you)或 that 子句。它是這組詞裡最輕的一個:比 amazed 更淡,比 astonished 更日常——只是沒料到,不一定到不敢相信。

core核心畫面

You can picture the half-second after something arrives that you had not lined up for — a friend appears at your door, a bill is twice what you thought, someone tells you a fact you never knew. Your face moves before your thinking catches up: go up, you stop mid-sentence. Surprised names how the person on the receiving end of that moment feels, not the event itself.

可以想成:事情發生的那半秒,你腦中原本排好的預期突然對不上。朋友沒說一聲就出現在門口、帳單比你想的多一倍、有人告訴你一件你完全不知道的事——臉先反應了,話講到一半停住,眉毛揚起來。surprised 講的是「被撞到的那個人心裡的感覺」,不是事情本身。
