Otherworldly

“Otherworldly” 形容气质、声音或景象超脱尘世、神秘空灵,如 otherworldly beauty(不食人间烟火的美);也可指专注精神世界而忽略现实。

  1. “The singer’s otherworldly voice silenced the hall.” (歌手那空灵嗓音让全场鸦雀无声。)
  2. “Fog gave the village an otherworldly glow at dawn.” (晨雾给村庄蒙上一层超凡的光晕。)
  3. “He seemed otherworldly, always lost in books and ideas.” (他仿佛不食人间烟火,总沉浸在书本与思绪里。)

other(他者)+ world(世界)+ -ly(形容词),字面义“属于另一个世界的”。

复合词加形容词后缀 -ly,无古典词根。

奇幻文学、宗教体验与实验音乐评论中常见,用来形容 transcendent 的氛围。

  • 固定搭配: “otherworldly beauty” (超凡之美), “otherworldly atmosphere” (空灵氛围), “otherworldly experience” (超凡体验)

other world + -ly → 像来自“另一个世界”的。

“Under the aurora, the snowfield looked otherworldly and utterly silent.” (极光下,雪原显得超凡脱俗,万籁俱寂。)
