splendid
含义: Magnificent, very impressive, or excellent; also used as an exclamation of approval or satisfaction.
Splendid occupies an interesting position in British English: it functions both as a genuine superlative (a splendid achievement, a splendid building) and as a characteristically British exclamation of approval, slightly old-fashioned and upper-middle-class in flavour. 'Splendid!' as a standalone response conveys hearty, somewhat patrician enthusiasm. In more formal writing, it describes visual or aesthetic grandeur. The word has a warmth that 'magnificent' sometimes lacks.
