It means “wonderful”, “great”, “cool”, “splendid”. It came into English from United States slang in the 1980s
2、 or maybe earlier. Certainly it arrived in Britain in the late 1980s. It was part of a trend which goes back decades to use bad words to mean good concepts, or the other way round. I mean you might remember saying, “ Thats great” meaning “ It isnt great”. And always theres been this use of the word
3、“naughty” to mean “nice”. So its part to a general trend. Its mainly used as an adjective in front of a noun, for example “ We had a wicked time!” Or, of course, you can use it on its own by just saying “ Wicked!” as a reaction thats how youngsters use it. And youngsters, of course, knowing that gro
4、wn-ups are now using it as well, have decided to use other bad words in the same sort of way Ive heard young people in recent years use words like “ evil” meaning “good”, or “brutal” meaning “good”. “Wicked” is still around. This means, of course, that the traditional sense of “wicked” is now being
5、squeezed out. So with wicked, tone of voice is the only way to tell the old meaning from the new meaning, and even thats ambiguous(含糊不清的) sometimes, so you have to be careful, and pay very careful attention to the context. And notice that the word is extending its use. The other day, for the first t

9、ich taught me something about the ways people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated（主持）at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased（已故）woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten
10、 her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. Its my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I hadnt insisted on her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. Its my fault.”When things dont turn out as we wo
11、uld like them to, we tend to assume（假设）that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty(内疚). Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping Mot

The first lies in our belief that the world makes sensethere is a reason for everything that happens. The second is the thought that w
13、e are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its task
14、s. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.25. What is true about the two deceased elderly women? AThey both died of
