Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想 'exciting'（激动）和 'hilarious'（欢闹），'exhilarating' 让人既兴奋又开心，爽快无比。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：travel experiences、sports and outdoor activities、live performances 该词属于中性但略偏正式，多用于描述令人非常兴奋、愉悦的经历或活动，例如旅行、运动或现场演出。口语和书面语中都较常见，不过比 exciting 稍正式一些。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都没有和 exhilarating 押韵。exhilarating 的重音在第二个音节 /ˈzɪlɝ-/，后面是 /ˌeɪtɪŋ/；invigorating 重音在 /ˈvɪɡ-/，fascinating 在 /ˈfæsɪ-/，stimulating 在 /ˈstɪmjə-/，accelerating 在 /ˈsɛlə-/，intoxicating 在 /ˈtɑːksɪ-/，故它们只共享 -ating 拼写，读音不同。hilarious 虽有 hilar 拼写，但读作 /hɪˈlɛriəs/，注意不要按 exhilarating 的 /zɪlɝ/ 读。
