参考词汇

(1)ecstasy， rapture， transport， exaltation

(2)These nouns all refer to a state of elated bliss. In its original sense ecstasy denoted a trancelike condition marked by loss of orientation toward rational experience and by concentration on a single emotion; now it usually means intense delight:

这些名词都表示高度喜悦的状态。ecstasy 的原意是一种近似昏厥的状态，特点是丧失理智而沉浸于某种单一的情感之中； 现在它的意思通常是狂喜：

“To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life” (Walter Pater).

“总是燃着这样强烈的玉石一般的火焰，总保持这种极度的喜悦便是生活中的成功” （沃尔特·佩特尔）。

(3)Rapture originally meant a being caught up in an emotional state, typically involuntary and uncontrollable. In current usage rapture, like ecstasy, simply means great joy:

Rapture 原指情绪的高涨状态，常为不自觉和不可自控的。现在的rapture 用法与 ecstasy 近似，只指极度的喜悦：

“Oliver would sit . . . listening to the sweet music, in a perfect rapture” (Charles Dickens).

“奥列佛坐着倾听那甜美的音乐，心情极为欢喜” （查尔斯·狄更斯）。

(4)Transport is the state of being carried away by strong emotion:

Transport 指的是被强烈的情感左右的状态：

“Surprised by joy—impatient as the Wind/I turned to share the transport” (William Wordsworth).

“我的心随之欢腾、惊喜，象风一样迫不及待” （威廉·华兹华斯）。

(5)Exaltation is a feeling or condition of elevated, often excessively passionate emotion:

Exaltation 指一种感觉或情绪状态，常指过分热烈的情感：

“There are men in the world who derive as stern an exaltation from the proximity of disaster and ruin, as others from success” (Winston S. Churchill).

“世上的人，一些因濒临灾难和毁灭而感到异常激动，另一些人则因成功而感到同样兴奋” （温斯顿·S·丘吉尔）
