关于Revelation的意思和用法的提问

A: It sounds like this line is from a poem or a story.

Basically, the person in this poem or story is just about to find the answer they are looking for, or about to discover something new. We would not speak like this in conversation - this is a metaphor.

A: A full cycle

A: a shock, news, a realization , surprise.

A: “After seeing him work, I had a revelation”
“It was a revelation; no one had ever explained it to me that way”
“And when she whispered sweet nothings to me, her love was almost like a revelation”

A: They have the same basic meaning of “reveal”. Revelation is used as a noun while revelatory is used to modify other words

A: @MamiFugu
The first one does not show whether you were anticipating it to be a revelation or not. It could be either according to what precedes or what follows.

The second shows that you were not anticipating it to be a revelation, but it turned out to be so. It gives an explicit indication of surprise.

A: startling revelations probably means it scared you to find out about it. Astonishing revelations probably means you were blown away to find out about it or it’s something that you finally figured out. You could be scared by astonishing revelations as well.

“I just had a startling revelation!”
“What”
“Every second someone dies around the world!”


“I just had a astonishing revelation!”
“What?”
“I didn’t need to give that guy 10 bucks for parking because I found out that there’s one down the road where I can park for 5 dollars!”

“I just had an astonishing revelation!”
“What?”
“The reason he said he liked me wasn’t because I had a bunch of money! It was because he actually wanted to date me for me”

A: Not quite. Minor changes made:

‎The revelation that the PM had been to a party with dozens of his staff in the Downing Street garden has caused great indignation on the people.

A: The revelation of the masked man's identity surprises/surprised us?

A: This is very good, but it would be better to say "that I blinked at it"

A: good job!
you could also say "i've had a revelation" meaning you've realized something or you finally comprehend something.
but again, no one really says this.
revelation feels like an old word and it wouldn't really be used in everyday speach. you may find it in a book though where a character has a revelation.

A: "I don't completely 'understand' what is happening there"
