To feel very surprised and full of respect or pleasure because something is so good or unusual.
用法パターン：
to marvel at [something]; to marvel that [clause]
よくある間違い：
Learners often use the wrong preposition and say *“marvel of”* or *“marvel about”* when they mean the verb. For the verb, the natural pattern is usually *“marvel at [something]”* or *“marvel that …”*. Also, some learners confuse the verb *“marvel”* with the noun brand name *“Marvel”* and do not realize they are different uses.
類義語
wonder (Very close in meaning; 'wonder at' is slightly more common in everyday speech, while 'marvel at' can sound a bit more formal or literary.)
|
be amazed (Focuses more on strong surprise; 'marvel' more strongly suggests admiration as well as surprise.)
|
be astonished (Often stronger shock or surprise; 'marvel' sounds more positive and appreciative.)
対義語
take for granted (If you take something for granted, you do not notice or admire it; this is the opposite attitude of marveling at it.)
|
ignore (To pay no attention to something, instead of noticing it with surprise and admiration.)
