<< review queue entry 56822 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I don't think "absolutely horrified" conveys the meaning very well. I think 毛骨悚然 is more like an instantaneous, involuntary reaction. Compare the use of "absolutely horrified" in the following examples, where it is used to mean "filled with dismay or disgust": - "I am absolutely horrified by the total disregard for civilian life by all parties in this conflict." - "What this family found in their Tesco chicken will leave you absolutely horrified." - "First and foremost he's absolutely horrified by what people said he did that evening." ------------------------------------------------- 也最令人毛骨悚然的回憶 the most detailed, moving and blood-chilling recollections of Taiwan's "White Terror." 發情交配的夜吼更令人毛骨悚然 And the screeches they make to attract mates, cutting through the night, are hair-raising. 它對今日台灣社會的觀察與刻畫有著令人毛骨悚然的犀利 In Tsai's The River, for example, his observation and depiction of Taiwanese society is chillingly trenchant 複製人的想法給人一種毛骨悚然的感覺 the very idea of cloning a human being is enough to send chills up and down the spine |
