Compared meaning: to feel amazed or astonished (verb).

比较义项：因惊奇而感到惊叹、诧异（动词）。

• wonder 本词

  A milder, more general word for feeling amazed or puzzled by something; often used with 'at', and can suggest mild doubt rather than clear admiration.

  语气较平和、更笼统，表示因某事而感到惊讶或困惑；常与“at”搭配，有时带有一丝疑惑，而非明确的赞赏。

  He paused to wonder at how quickly the seasons had changed this year.

  他停下来，惊叹于今年季节变化得如此之快。

• marvel

  Stronger and more formal; expresses clear admiration or awe at something impressive, almost always followed by 'at'.

  语气更强、更正式；表示对令人印象深刻的事物感到明确的钦佩或惊叹，几乎总是与“at”搭配使用。

  Tourists marvel at the height of the waterfall as it thunders down the cliff.

  游客们惊叹于瀑布从悬崖倾泻而下的高度。

Wonder and marvel both mean to feel amazed, but marvel is stronger and more formal, expressing clear admiration, almost always followed by 'at'. Wonder is milder and more general, often followed by 'at' too, and can suggest doubt rather than admiration.

这两个词在“惊叹”这一义项上意思相近，但语气强弱不同：marvel语气更强，带有明确的钦佩、赞赏，语体也更正式；wonder语气较平和，有时只是困惑或不解，不一定含赞赏之意。此处不比较wonder表示“想知道”（wonder what / whether）或名词“奇迹”的用法，也不比较marvel作名词表示“奇迹”的用法。
