俚语 sick 表示超棒、太酷了：That's sick! 相当于 That's so cool! 朋友之间会兴奋地用它夸技巧、演唱会、物品或消息。它不适合正式交流、作业或不熟悉这种俚语的对象。作文和需要中性表达的 IELTS Speaking 回答中，可以用 amazing、brilliant 或 excellent。

修改原因
修改前Dear Professor Grant, your lecture on climate change was sick, thank you!
修改后Dear Professor Grant, your lecture on climate change was excellent, thank you!
邮件以 Dear Professor Grant 开头，给教授的这种消息中使用俚语 sick 显得过于随意，还可能被理解成它通常的不舒服含义。Excellent 能礼貌、清楚地表达同样的赞赏。
普通的 sick 表示生病或想吐：I feel sick after that boat trip。俚语 sick 则表达兴奋：That boat trip was sick! 描述什么以及说话语气可以帮助判断：谈身体感受时通常是不舒服，兴奋地评价一项活动或物品时则可能是在夸。
动手练习
My friend landed a perfect backflip on his skateboard, and everyone around shouted, 'That was ___!'
查看答案
sick — 漂亮的后空翻和大家的欢呼都说明他们很兴奋，因此选表示超棒的 sick。Cringe 表示尴尬、让人看着难为情，而完美完成的动作没有引起这种反应。
给朋友写一条兴奋的消息，谈谈最近第一次尝试的活动，并说明是在哪里体验的。
We tried the new climbing wall at the sports centre yesterday for the first time, and it was sick!
