助记提示
1. Etymologically, thrill denotes "make a hole in, pierce, penetrate".
2. It is a Middle English alteration (that is metathesis) of Old English thyrlian 'pierce', a derivative of thyrl 'hole' (see nostril). And this in turn was formed from thurh 'through'.
3. The notion of 'making a hole' changed to the metaphorical 'pierce (比喻义：打动，感动；影响，侵彻) with emotion'.
4. 同源词：thrill, nostril, through.
