长释义：
"It was with a certain trepidation that I attended an advance screening of Rob Zombie’s Halloween in Hollywood last night," wrote a film reviewer. Some dictionaries note that trepidation carries connotations of apprehension about an upcoming threat. In most cases, though, you can get by with the simpler word fear — why use three syllables when you could make do with one? The word comes from the Latin verb trepidare, "to tremble."
一位影评人写道：“昨晚我在好莱坞参加了罗布·僵尸万圣节的预映，我感到有些惶恐。”一些词典指出，恐惧带有对即将到来的威胁的担忧的含义。不过，在大多数情况下，您可以使用更简单的单词 fear 来应付——既然可以用一个音节来凑合，为什么还要使用三个音节呢？这个词来自拉丁语动词 trepidare，“颤抖”。
文学例句：

直到那时，我们才惊恐地想起了我们的包裹。
