Dr. McMillanが小倉百人一首を翻訳した本の書評に、知っている単語なのに意味が分からない単語がもう一つありました。
They have also acted as a dynamo of cultural creation - driving later poets to reach for the poetic gold standard they established and propelling generations of visual artists to set down in myriad mediums the arresting images they contain.
"arresting" とくると逮捕しか思い浮かべないので辞書で調べるとありました。
Merriam-Webster: "catching the attention"
Cambridge International Dictionary: "very attractive in a way that attracts a lot of attention"
そう言えば犯人が逮捕される事も "catching the attention" ではありますね。
