magnificent
意味: Extremely beautiful, elaborate, or impressive; of outstanding quality or grandeur.
Magnificent is one of the strongest general-purpose words of praise in English, applicable to landscapes, buildings, performances, achievements, and people. It suggests scale and grandeur — something magnificent is not merely good but awe-inspiring. The word has a long association with power and patronage (Lorenzo the Magnificent, the Magnificat), and retains a certain gravity. In everyday British speech it can also function as enthusiastic approval: 'What a magnificent try!'
