impressive beauty or grandeur
A quality of being very beautiful, large, or rich in a way that makes people feel amazed.
用法模式：
the magnificence of [something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "magnificence" (noun) with "magnificent" (adjective). Use "magnificence" after articles or possessives ("the magnificence of the castle", "its magnificence"), and "magnificent" before nouns ("a magnificent castle"). Another mistake is trying to use it in the plural; it is almost always uncountable and used without "-s".
