| ~{ED08>*Ff~} english Explanation: The report claimed that this is an extremely astonishing/or amazing event. ~{ED08~} (banging the table) gives reader a more expressive description of emotions, also could connotate a more extreme degree of feelings (eg. in english we use anger vs furious vs rage to illustrate varying degrees of anger); while ~{>*Ff~} could be surprise vs astonishment vs amazement. hope this helps. :) |

| 拍案惊奇 TRY Explanation: 有两本本中国古典小说叫“初刻拍案惊奇”和“二刻拍案惊奇”，我念高中时很喜欢看的，现在还记得其中的很多故事，讲的都是一些人间奇事。冬天坐在被窝里看看，蛮有味道的。 问者的句子里拍案惊奇四字标有引号，我想可能是暗引那两本书的。 Reference: http://www.mypcera.com/book/gu/gu/2ke/ Reference: http://www.mypcera.com/book/gu/gu/chuke/ |

peer agreement (net): +1| 拍案惊奇 TRY Explanation: Astonishing, amazing, astounding, striking, and many more. Anyone will do. Although it is copied from the Late Qing Writer 凌蒙初's book title, it really just means a stronger sense of supprizing. So you can just select a stonger word from the above list, or just use "very, very supprizing". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs 37 mins (2005-01-18 03:42:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thrilling -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs 37 mins (2005-01-18 03:42:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Thrilling |
