I learn the word "refreshingly" today I am grateful to the people who helped me in explaining my question about the the relationship between "grate" and "grateful". And other groups of people who generously gave me answers in the past, and not least one of the helpers had repeated his offering in different questions. I received answer for my one new question "refreshingly" today, and I am happy with the rapid and good answer. Thank you ladies and gentlemen. This new question is the word "refreshingly", it sounds weird, am i too lazy to seek help from a dictionary? On the contrary, this question come after I checked over more than 3 dictionaries. Each dictionary gave me "refreshing" idea that prompted me to realize what i had learned about this word was not correct. It is not a unique case between Chinese and English. There are a group of words that are hard to be translated by Chinese or easy to be misunderstood even in the dictionary. One of my understanding about the word refreshing, learned from the dictionary long ago, is mere a substitution of the word "energetic" or "new", and totally clear from the meaning of pleasant. This case remind me to be more attentive for those seemingly vague, abstract English words. It is a new attitude toward learning this English
