今天我們要學的詞是 staggering.

staggering 的意思是驚人的。 Australia's second-largest bank, Westpac, has been accused of 23 million breaches of anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing laws, which in theory could result in a fine of up to a staggering US$328 trillion. 澳大利亞第二大銀行西太平洋銀行被控違反反洗錢和反恐金融法達2千300萬次，從理論上可面臨高達328萬億美元的罰款。

A recent report by the non-profit group EdChoice showed that a staggering 15 percent of parents would prefer homeschooling over other educational alternatives such as private, public, or charter schools. 非營利組織EdChoice最近的一項報告顯示，有驚人比例的15％的父母希望子女在家上學，而不是接受私立、公立或特許學校等其他教育方式。
