“惊叫的”常见英文表达可以是 “screaming” 或 “shrieking” ,这两个词都侧重于描述因恐惧、惊讶等而发出尖锐叫声的状态。例如:
A screaming child was being carried out of the burning house.(一个惊叫的孩子被从着火的房子里抱了出来 。)
We heard shrieking noises coming from the next room.(我们听到隔壁房间传来惊叫的声音 。)
此外, “exclaiming” 也有“惊叫;呼喊”的意思,不过它更强调因惊讶、激动等情绪而发出呼喊,使用场景和前两者略有不同。例如:The tourists were exclaiming in wonder at the beautiful scenery.(游客们对美丽的景色发出惊叹 。)
