verve (VERV) From the Old French word for “fanciful expression,” this noun means “energy and enthusiasm in the expression of ideas, espe-cially in an artistic performance.” One uses this word to describe how a person does something, not to describe the person.
- Roberta’s zither performance lacked the verve she brings to her piano playing; the audience found the concert completely lackluster (a good word for “dull”).
- “There’s no verve in your step,” shouted the dance instructor as she watched the budding ballerinas trip haltingly across the dance floor. “Your audience will expect a little enthusiasm, girls!”

verve（VERV）这个名词来自古法语中“异想天开的表达”的意思，意思是“表达思想的能量和热情，尤其是在艺术表演中。”人们用这个词来形容一个人是如何做某事的，而不是用来形容这个人。
罗伯塔的古筝演奏缺乏她为钢琴演奏带来的活力；观众发现这场音乐会毫无生气（“沉闷”的好词）。
“你的步伐没有活力，”舞蹈教练看着崭露头角的芭蕾舞演员蹒跚地穿过舞池喊道。“你们的观众会期待一点热情，女孩们！”
