短释义：
The word spectacle comes from the Latin spectaculum meaning “public show,” an apt translation because a spectacle, like a public show, is something worth watching. A ballet is a spectacle, or an elaborate production worth watching. Often the word is used to describe something that has a particularly exciting visual element to it — like an acrobatic display or a magic trick. It’s something you have to see to really appreciate.
奇观是你无法相信自己所看到的东西。穿着内裤坐在办公桌上，吹着卡祖笛，你就会大放异彩。

“奇观”一词源自拉丁语“spectaculum”，意思是“公开表演”，这是一个恰当的翻译，因为奇观就像公开表演一样，是值得观看的东西。芭蕾舞是一场奇观，或者是一场值得观看的精心制作。该词通常用于描述具有特别令人兴奋的视觉元素的事物，例如杂技表演或魔术。这是你必须亲眼目睹才能真正欣赏的东西。
