Terrific
What you think it means: Fantastic, good.你认为单词的含义是：妙极了，极好的。
What it really means: Horrific, to inspire fear.单词的真正含义是：可怖的，令人害怕的。
This is another one that we expect will be changed in the dictionary eventually because barely anyone uses the real meaning anymore. When people say they feel terrific, they mean to say they feel fantastic. An example of something terrific is King Kong. You see a giant monster and it inspires fear. We're going to loop awesome in with this one too. Awesome simply means to inspire awe and people often use it to describe something really good。我们认为这个单词的含义以后也会在词典里重新修订，因为现在几乎没有人会去使用它的真正含义。当人们说感觉terrific（恐怖的）时，他们是指感觉fantastic（好极了）。《金刚》就是典型的terrific（可怖的）例子，因为它是巨怪，让人感到恐惧。在此顺便说说awesome这个单词吧。Awesome是指“让人感到惊惧”，但现在人们用这个词的时候主要是指“某事好极了”。
