Strange in a dreamy, unreal way — the way things look or feel to someone on a drug like LSD. Melting colours, patterns that seem to move, sounds that stretch, time going soft.

Strange in a dreamy, unreal way迷幻、不真實地怪，the way things look or feel to someone on a drug like LSD就像有人嗑了LSD這類毒品時，看東西、感覺東西的那種樣子。Melting colours融化流動的顏色，patterns that seem to move看起來會動的圖案，sounds that stretch拉長變形的聲音，time going soft時間變得軟綿綿的。

People use it most about art, music, films, and videos: "a trippy album cover", "the ending was really trippy". It is casual, spoken English, and it is usually a good thing, or at least an interesting thing — it means fascinating and strange, not frightening.

People use it most about art, music, films, and videos大家最常用它來說藝術、音樂、電影和影片，像'a trippy album cover'很迷幻的專輯封面、'the ending was really trippy'結局真的很迷幻這樣的說法。It is casual, spoken English這是口語、非正式的說法，and it is usually a good thing, or at least an interesting thing通常是件好事，至少也是件有趣的事——it means fascinating and strange, not frightening意思是迷人又奇特，不是恐怖。

Here is what matters for using it: most people who say "trippy" today have never taken a drug. The word has drifted. It now covers anything that bends your sense of what is real — a dream you cannot shake, a hall of mirrors, a coincidence that is too neat. "That's so trippy" can just mean "that's wild, that's hard to get my head around".

Here is what matters for using it用這個字時要注意的是，most people who say 'trippy' today have never taken a drug現在說'trippy'的人，大多數根本沒吸過毒。The word has drifted這個字的意思已經飄移了。It now covers anything that bends your sense of what is real現在它可以用來說任何讓你搞不清楚什麼是真實的東西——a dream you cannot shake揮之不去的夢、a hall of mirrors鏡子迷宮、a coincidence that is too neat巧合到太剛好的巧合。'That's so trippy'可以就只是指'that's wild, that's hard to get my head around'「這也太扯了，我腦袋轉不過來」。

Because of where it comes from, it still sounds young and informal, so keep it out of school essays and formal writing.

Because of where it comes from因為它的出處，it still sounds young and informal聽起來還是很年輕、很隨便，so keep it out of school essays and formal writing所以不要用在學校作文或正式寫作裡。
