“堂皇地”可以用英语表达为 “grandly” 或 “magnificently”。
Grandly 强调气势宏大、庄重,常用于描述建筑、仪式、行为等显得气派、有尊严的场合。例如:
The palace was built grandly, with exquisite carvings and magnificent halls.(宫殿建造得堂皇壮丽,有精美的雕刻和宏伟的大厅。)
The ceremony was held grandly to mark the important occasion.(为了纪念这一重要时刻,仪式举行得堂皇盛大。)
Magnificently 则更侧重于华丽、壮观,常用于形容景色、表演、成就等令人赞叹的场合。虽然“堂皇地”更多指向一种庄重、气派的气质,但在某些语境下,“magnificently”也可传达类似“堂皇”的华丽感。例如:
The castle stood magnificently on the hilltop.(城堡堂皇地矗立在山顶。)
The fireworks display was magnificently beautiful.(烟花表演堂皇绚丽。)
