用法筆記

Stronger than 'strange' or 'unusual' — implies the thing feels almost hard to believe. Often modified by intensifiers such as 'quite', 'rather', 'utterly', 'truly'. Frequently used predicatively after 'seem', 'feel', 'find', or in the pattern 'it is bizarre that…'.

常見錯誤

❌I felt very bizarre after the long flight.
✅I felt very strange after the long flight.
💡'bizarre' describes things or events that seem odd to others, not how a person feels inside.
❌Her dress was a little bizarre.
✅Her dress was a little unusual.
💡'bizarre' is a strong word, so soft modifiers like 'a little' or 'slightly' sound odd; use 'quite', 'rather', or 'truly' instead.
