令人气愤的！
🚩outrageous主要指“遇到对你个人来说似乎是不公平的事情，从而感到令人无法容忍的，骇人听闻的”；也可以指“违反是非标准，违反道德规范，令人发指的”，它的程度比shocking还要重。柯林斯解释为If you describe something as outrageous, you are emphasizing that it is unacceptable or very shocking.。
如：
She thought it absolutely outrageous that he should be promoted over her.他竟然提升为她的上司，她觉得这无法容忍。
His treatment of his wife is outrageous. 他待妻子十分蛮横。
The price is outrageous, ie much too high.价钱高得吓人。
🚩shocking也可以指“违反道德标准的”，柯林斯解释为You can say that something is shocking if you think that it is morally wrong.。在这层含以上，与outrageous同义，比如，两个词都可以这么搭配：outrageous/shocking behavior（令人愤慨的行为）；a/an outrageous /shocking act/waste/story/suggestion（和人听闻的行为、令人咋舌的浪费、耸人听闻的故事、极端无礼的暗示）。shocking里还有一层个意思是outrageous不具有的，即指“非常危险或者严重的情况”，柯林斯解释为You can say that something is shocking if you think that it is very bad.。
如：
Today we reveal the shocking truth about heroin addiction among the young.我们今天披露年轻人服用海洛因成瘾这一骇人的真实情况（不能用outrageous）。

如：
