原文 (English)

awful is an adjective with multiple meanings:

1. Extremely bad or unpleasant: "The weather was awful yesterday."

2. Used to emphasize the extent of something, especially something unpleasant: "I feel awful about forgetting her birthday."

3. (informal) Very great: "There's an awful lot of traffic today."

4. Inspiring awe: "The awful majesty of the mountains." (archaic)

Common phrases:

- "That's awful!" (表示强烈不满)

- "I feel awful" (感觉糟透了)

- "An awful lot" (非常多)

译文 (中文)

awful这个词儿可有意思了，咱们来好好掰扯掰扯：

1. 表示"糟糕透顶"的意思：比如"昨儿个那天气简直了，awful到不行"

2. 强调程度，特指不好的事儿："我把她生日给忘了，心里那叫一个过意不去(awful)"

3. (口语里)表示"特别多"："今儿个路上车多得要命(an awful lot)"

4. 古早用法表示"令人敬畏的"："那山的气势，绝了(awful majesty)"

常用表达：

- "这也太离谱了吧！(That's awful!)"

- "我整个人都不好了(I feel awful)"

- "海了去了(An awful lot)"

小贴士：现在年轻人说"awful"大多都是前三个意思，第四个用法现在基本只能在老书里见着了。这个词儿用起来可得注意场合，跟老板说"Your idea is awful"那可就尴尬了不是？
