    大家都认为昨晚的音乐会绝对精彩极了。

Wonderful, extraordinary, remarkable, and terrific all describe something very good or striking. Wonderful is warm, general praise. Extraordinary stresses being far beyond usual, often about skill. Remarkable highlights something so notable that people admire it. Terrific is informal and exclamatory, more casual than wonderful.

这四个词都能表示“非常好”或“引人注目”,但语气和场合不同:wonderful和terrific更偏重个人感受上的美好,terrific更口语、更夸张;extraordinary和remarkable更书面,强调事物超出寻常、值得关注,不一定是“讨人喜欢”。
