extol
基本释义
[verb] praise enthusiastically
[动词] 热情地赞美
深入解读
Extol 是一个与小站（微信公众号：田间小站）之前推送过的 exalt 容易相混淆的单词。该词源自拉丁语 extollere （放在高处、举起、升高，喻指“颂扬、赞扬”），15世纪进入英语后也是用来表示“颂扬、赞扬、赞美、赞颂”，多指热情、高度地赞扬某人或某物，常意味着对所赞扬的人或事物进行提升和放大，比如：
- 人人称颂他在内战期间的英雄事迹。
Everyone extols his heroic exploits during the civil war. - 弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔被誉为现代护理事业的奠基人。
Florence Nightingale was extolled as the founder of modern nursing.
值得注意的是， extol 在美式英语中也较少拼作 extoll ，并且两种拼法的过去式（extolling）、过去分词（extolled）、现在分词（extolled）都双写字母 l 。
