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。
- “The singer’s otherworldly voice silenced the hall.” (歌手那空灵嗓音让全场鸦雀无声。)
- “Fog gave the village an otherworldly glow at dawn.” (晨雾给村庄蒙上一层超凡的光晕。)
- “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。)
