exult
基本释义
[verb] feel or show triumphant elation or jubilation
[动词] 感到或表现出得意洋洋的喜悦或欢腾
深入解读
Exult 是一个与小站之前推送过的 exalt 十分形似的单词。该词源自拉丁语 exsilire (向上跳),16世纪60年代经法语 exulter 进入英语,原本也是用来表示“跃起、雀跃”。
人们之所以雀跃,往往是因为发生了某件十分令人高兴或兴奋的事情。因此从这个概念出发,等到了16世纪90年代后, exult 开始发展出现在的主要含义指“兴高采烈、欢欣鼓舞、喜形于色”,常用搭配 exult at/in sth 作正式用语使用,主要指对胜利、成功等喜事感到或表现出得意洋洋的喜悦或欢腾,比如:
- 他向后一靠,为自己计划成功而得意扬扬。
He leaned back, exulting at the success of his plan. - 她在36岁时达到了事业的巅峰。那时,她好像一副大权在握,洋洋得意的样子。
At 36, she’d reached the apex of her career. At that time, she seemed to exult in her power.
文学例句

在饥饿、酷冷和劳累等所有生活的艰难面前,他们能忍受,决不退缩;危险反而能激发他们的毅力;面对灾难,他们甚至依然能谈笑风生。但他们忍受不了鄙视。
