You can picture the moment fear goes past 'scary' and takes over the body: your mind goes blank, your legs will not move, and for a second you cannot decide anything.

可以想成：害怕大到一個程度，整個人被接管了——腦袋一片空白、腳像黏在地上、那幾秒鐘連決定都做不了。terrifying 形容的就是把人推進這個狀態的東西：空屋裡的一聲響、車子在冰上打滑、想到自己要站上台面對一千個人。它比 scary 更狠一階，scary 是心跳加快，terrifying 是動彈不得。原始詞典資料3 筆記錄
