Even though she's clever, she is often amazed.

Literal

She [topic-は] clever [despite-のに] often is-amazed.

~のに marks a concessive clause — 'despite being clever.' 驚嘆する (きょうたんする, 'to marvel, to be amazed') is a formal suru-verb. The のに creates a contrast between her intelligence and her capacity for wonder.
