“美味”的英文核心词汇是 delicious,音标为英 /dɪˈlɪʃəs/、美 /dɪˈlɪʃəs/,作为形容词表示食物“味道或气味极其愉悦”,语气强于普通词汇“tasty”。需注意它本身已含“非常”的程度,因此不可说“very delicious”,正确加强语气的表达是“absolutely delicious”(异常美味)。
描述食物/饮品(最常用)
直接修饰名词,强调味觉或嗅觉的愉悦体验。
例:The steamed dumplings were absolutely delicious.(蒸饺实在太好吃了)
例:This restaurant serves delicious seafood.(这家餐厅的海鲜很可口)
延伸形容非食物场景(非正式)
可比喻“令人愉悦的气味、体验或感受”,但使用频率较低。
例:The smell of fresh bread is delicious.(新鲜面包的香味很怡人)
