terrific

"Terrific"来源于拉丁语"terrificus"，意为"令人害怕的"，其中词根"terr-"来源于 "terror"，意为“恐惧”。

["adj. 极好的；极其的，非常的；可怕的"]

I feel absolutely terrific today!

我今天的感觉真是好极了！

I am completely energized and feeling terrific.

我现在充满了活力，感觉棒极了。

She's doing a terrific job.

她活儿干得真棒。

“I think it's a terrific idea,” she says of the campaign

你可以联想到“terrific”为 "terri-"（恐怖的）+ "-fic" （和"-fic" in "specific"相似，表示"特定的"），因此，“terrific”中含有"特定的恐怖"的意思，而由于历史的发展，它的意思变为了"极好的"，可以这样记忆。
