Examples
"To be working, to be making a film for the cinema, at a time when so many people were wondering if that would ever be possible again, was exhilarating. We proved to ourselves the heady fact that we can still work, even under this pandemic, it does not need to rob us of everything we cherish." — Tilda Swinton, quoted in The Asbury Park (New Jersey) Press, 10 Mar. 2021
很多人都想知道是否還會再次實現這一目標的同時,為工作,為做電影拍電影而感到興奮。 我們向自己證明了令人興奮的真相,即使在這種流行病下,我們仍然可以工作,它並不會奪走我們所珍惜的一切。」
"Maxey's flashes have exhilarated, but his small stature, inefficient shooting, and defensive shortcomings loom large. If the Sixers truly want to compete, he's the kind of long-term project you might exchange for a win-now piece." — Christopher Kline, The Sixer Sense (thesixersense.com), 20 Mar. 2021

Did You Know?
Many people find exhilarate a difficult word to spell. It's easy to forget that silent "h" in there, and is it an "er" or "ar" after the "l"? It may be easier to remember the spelling if you know that exhilarate ultimately derives from the Latin adjective hilarus, meaning "cheerful." (This also explains why the earliest meaning of exhilarate is "to make cheerful.") Exhilarate comes from exhilaratus, the past participle of exhilarare, which is formed by combining ex- and hilarare, a verb that derives from hilarus and means "to cheer or gladden." If hilarus looks familiar, that may be because it's also the source of hilarious and hilarity (as well as hilariously and hilariousness, of course).
許多人發現單詞 exhilarate 很難拼寫。 很容易忘記無聲「 h」,及在「 l」之後是「 er」還是「 ar」? 如果您知道單詞「exhilarate」最終源自於拉丁形容詞「 hilarus」(意思是「cheerful「開朗」」),記住該拼寫可能會更容易記住。 (這也解釋了為什麼 exhilarate 的最初的含義是「to make cheerful「使高興」」。)Exhilarate 來自於 exhilaratus,exhilarare 的過去分詞,它是通過ex-與hilarare組合而成,ex-和hilarare都是動詞,hilarare 起源於 hilarus,意為「to cheer or gladden「歡呼或高興」」。 如果 hilarus 看起來很眼熟,那可能是因為它(hilarus)也是 hilarous 「極其滑稽的」和 hilarity「歡鬧」 的起源(當然,也包括 hilariously 「引人發笑地」和 hilariousness「狂喜」 )。
