If a situation is frightening, this means it makes you feel afraid. /ˈfraɪt nɪŋ/ Nếu một tình huống nào đó đáng sợ, điều này có nghĩa là nó khiến bạn cảm thấy sợ hãi.

It was a very frightening experience. We were all terrified!

Weird >> Creepy >> Frightening >> Horrifying

Khác thường, kỳ quái, có thể không đáng sợ >> Rùng mình, bất an, đáng sợ một cách tinh tế >> Gây sợ hãi, hoảng loạn, có mối đe dọa rõ ràng >> Gây sốc, kinh hoàng, khủng khiếp tột độ.

  • A weird hat. (Một cái mũ kỳ lạ.)
  • A creepy doll. (Một con búp bê rợn người.)
  • A frightening monster. (Một con quái vật đáng sợ.)
  • A horrifying crime scene. (Một hiện trường vụ án kinh hoàng.)

Afraid (Sợ hãi) vs Terrified (khiếp sợ, kinh hoàng)

"Afraid" là tính từ chỉ tình trạng cảm xúc của con người, tức là cảm thấy sợ hãi. Bạn "afraid" một điều gì đó. Từ này mô tả cảm giác sợ hãi bên trong bạn, chứ không mô tả bản chất của sự vật hay tình huống gây ra nó. Ví dụ: She is afraid of the dark. (Cô ấy sợ bóng tối.) I'm afraid I can't help you. (Tôi e rằng tôi không thể giúp bạn được.) - Trong trường hợp này, "afraid" mang nghĩa lịch sự là "e rằng", "ngại là".

  • Afraid (sợ hãi): Đây là một cảm giác sợ hãi chung chung, bình thường. Nó có thể là cảm giác lo lắng, e sợ trước một điều gì đó không mong muốn hoặc nguy hiểm.
  • Terrified (khiếp sợ, kinh hoàng): Đây là một trạng thái sợ hãi ở mức độ cực đoan, mạnh hơn rất nhiều so với "afraid". Nó diễn tả cảm giác sợ hãi tột độ, khiến một người có thể bị tê liệt, mất kiểm soát. Weren't you terrified when you heard the scream?

When a situation is risky, it's obvious that something bad might happen. Khi một tình huống có rủi ro, rõ ràng là điều gì đó tồi tệ có thể xảy ra.

Camping here feels risky because it is dangerous at night. /ˈdeɪn dʒə rəs/ (Cắm trại ở đây rất mạo hiểm vì về đêm rất nguy hiểm.)

It was the grossest thing I've ever smelled. The smell was awful!

If something smells gross, it smells bad, and might even make you feel sick (Nếu có thứ gì đó có mùi kinh tởm, nó có mùi rất tệ và thậm chí có thể khiến bạn cảm thấy buồn nôn) gross /ɡrəʊs/

  • Gross (kinh tởm): Dùng để mô tả cảm xúc, trạng thái. Ví dụ: "That food smells gross" (Món ăn đó có mùi thật kinh tởm).
  • Gross (tổng): Dùng trong các thuật ngữ kinh tế, toán học. Ví dụ: "Gross Domestic Product" (Tổng sản phẩm quốc nội).
    • Gross income (tổng thu nhập) hoặc Gross wage (tổng lương) là toàn bộ số tiền bạn kiếm được trước khi khấu trừ thuế thu nhập, bảo hiểm xã hội, và các khoản phí khác.
    • Trái ngược với gross là net (thuần, ròng). Net income (thu nhập ròng) hoặc Net wage (lương ròng) là số tiền thực tế bạn nhận được sau khi đã trừ hết mọi khoản khấu trừ.
    • Ví dụ: Nếu lương hàng tháng của bạn là 15 triệu đồng (gross), sau khi trừ thuế và bảo hiểm, bạn có thể chỉ nhận được 13 triệu đồng (net).

If something is at the bottom, it is at the lowest part.

When you escape, that means you get out of a difficult or bad situation. Khi bạn trốn thoát, điều đó có nghĩa là bạn thoát khỏi một tình huống khó khăn hoặc tồi tệ. escape /ɪˈskeɪp/ cancel /ˈkænsl/

  • Escape: Hướng đến hành động thoát ra, rời khỏi một tình huống.
  • Cancel: Hướng đến việc hủy bỏ một kế hoạch hoặc sự kiện đã được định sẵn.
  • Bạn có thể nhớ đơn giản như sau: Bạn thoát khỏi một căn phòng (escape), nhưng bạn hủy một cuộc hẹn với bạn bè (cancel).
