- 1超級的、極度的（常當字首用）
Ultra means 'extremely' or 'going beyond the normal limit'. On its own it's a bit informal — people say 'that's so ultra' to mean over-the-top or extreme. You'll meet it much more often stuck onto the front of another word, like 'ultra-modern' (extremely modern) or 'ultraviolet' (light beyond what our eyes can see). In sports, 'ultra' can also be short for an extreme-distance race, like an 'ultra-marathon'.
ultra 的意思是極度的、超過一般界線。單獨用時口語感較重，像「that's so ultra」，有點誇張或極端。它更常接在別的字前面當字首，像「ultra-modern」（極度現代）、「ultraviolet」（紫外線，超出我們眼睛可見的光），也就是「ultra-＋形容詞」這種組法。在運動中，它也可以指超長距離比賽，像「ultra-marathon」。
From the word’s history
From Latin ultrā 'beyond'.
源自拉丁文 ultrā「在…之外、超過」。
組成It comes from Latin 'ultra', meaning 'beyond' or 'on the other side of'.
