拓展:
怎么说...其实这个词不算严格意义上的熟词生义,因为可能有些同学不认识这个词语。它作为动词最常见的意思是“克服;解决”【If you surmount a problem or difficulty, you deal successfully with it.】
[scode type="green"]2.bask
v.沉浸于,尽情享受(赞美、宠爱或崇拜)[/scode]
英英释义:
If you bask in someone's approval, favour, or admiration, you greatly enjoy their positive reaction towards you.
例句:
He has spent a month basking in the adulation of the fans back in Jamaica.
他整整一个月都沉浸在牙买加影迷们的追捧中。
Livy smiled and basked in Rachel's approval.
莉薇微笑着,雷切尔的赞许令她如沐春风。
拓展:
从上述两个例句中可以看出,“bask”的这个意思需要和介词“in”搭配。bask本义是“(舒适地)晒太阳(取暖)”,其实延伸一下,晒太阳是一件很享受的事,所以延伸一下在精神层面的享受就是“赞美”啦~

这里再补充一个“sound”一个很常见的意思,作为形容词还可以表示“(观点)正确的,明智的”【If you describe someone's ideas as sound, you mean that you approve of them and think they are correct.】
