magnificent, impressive beauty
Very great beauty and an impressive look that makes people feel amazed.
用法模式：
the splendor of [something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes use *splendor* to describe small, everyday things (e.g. "the splendor of my sandwich"). The word is usually reserved for scenes, buildings, events, or works of art that are unusually beautiful or impressive. Learners also confuse *splendor* (noun) with *splendid* (adjective): "the splendor view" is incorrect; say "the splendid view" or "the view’s splendor".

反义词

luxury (Very common word for great comfort and expense; less grand or showy-sounding than *splendor*.)

a magnificent or beautiful thing
A very beautiful or impressive thing, place, or experience, often as one of many.
用法模式：

近义词
wonder (Suggests something amazing or almost magical, not only beautiful.)
