glorious
意味: Having or deserving great admiration, praise, and honour; wonderfully beautiful or magnificent; also used with ironic understatement.
Glorious has a dual life in British English. In its elevated sense, it describes moments, achievements, or scenes of genuine grandeur — a glorious victory, a glorious sunset. In its characteristically British ironic usage, it can describe something mundane with exaggerated enthusiasm, or something awful with cheerful resignation: 'a glorious mess,' 'a glorious muddle.' The word has deep roots in British historical and patriotic rhetoric — 'the Glorious Revolution' of 1688 — and retains an emotional warmth.
