基本释义
[verb] inspire or permeate with (a feeling or quality)
[动词] 激发或充满（某种感觉或品质）
深入解读
Imbue 一词源自拉丁语 imbuere （使湿润、潮湿、浸湿、湿透），15世纪进入英语后作动词表示“使保持湿润”或“使浸泡、浸透”，比如：
- 诺娃试图用一件浸透血污的女裙来止血
Nova tried to staunch the blood with a skirt imbued with blood.
不过这个含义发展到今天，更多的是用来引申指“使……充满、向……灌输或激发”某种强烈感情、想法或价值等，强调如浸透那般透彻深入，常用搭配 imbue sth/sb with sth ，比如：
- 她徐缓从容的声音里充满着一种不寻常的严肃语气。
Her languid voice was imbued with an unusual seriousness. - 那个酷爱读书的人满怀着寻求社会正义的愿望。
The avid reader was imbued with a desire for social justice.
名著用例

她们那么热情地履行自己的义务，她们总以为思嘉也像她们自己那样沉浸在炽热的爱国情绪之中，如果发现她竟对战争没有什么兴趣，准会大吃一惊的。
出自美国作家玛格丽特·米切尔（Margaret Mitchell）创作的长篇小说《飘》（Gone with the Wind）。该小说在1937年获得普利策奖，是玛格丽特·米切尔在世时出版的唯一一部作品。不但它成为美国史上最为畅销的小说之一，而且由这部小说所改编的同名电影《乱世佳人》也成为影史上不朽的经典。
