Drench is used especially when a lot of water falls on or pours down sb/sth; soak is used more often than drench when liquid comes up from underneath sth and makes it completely wet. Soak, but not drench is used when you deliberately put sth in water. 在有些情况下这两个词可以通用。drench尤指大量的水洒落或倾泻在人或物体上；soak比drench更常指液体从物体下面渗透。表示故意把某物放到水里浸泡时，要用soak而非drench。■ wet [transitive] (wetting, wet, wet or wetting, wetted, wetted)to make sth wet 使潮湿；把⋯弄湿◆Wet the brush slightly before putting it in the paint.把画笔稍微弄湿一点再去蘸颜料。◆He wet his finger to test the wind.他把手指弄湿去测试有没有风。 see also wet ⇨ wet adj. 1 ■ flood [transitive] to fill or cover a place with water; (of a river) to become so full that it spreads out onto the land around it 使灌满水；（河水）泛滥，淹没◆If the pipe bursts it could flood the whole house.要是水管破裂了，整座房子就会灌满水。◆The river flooded the valley.河水泛滥淹没了河谷。 see also flood ⇨ flood noun 1 , flood ⇨ flood verb ■ moisten / /ˈmɔɪsn/ / [transitive] to make sth slightly wet 使变得潮湿；使变得湿润◆He moistened his lips before he spoke.他润了润嘴唇，然后开始讲话。◆Wash the wound gently with a piece of moistened cotton wool.用湿润的药棉轻轻擦洗伤口。 see also moist ⇨ wet adj. 1 ■ dampen [transitive] to make sth slightly wet 使变得潮湿；使变得湿润◆He dampened his hair to make it lie flat.他把头发弄湿，梳得平平的。◆Perspiration dampened her face and neck.她的脸和脖子都汗津津的。 see also damp ⇨ wet adj. 1 NOTE 辨析 Moisten or dampen? Moisten is a slightly more positive word than dampen. You moisten things that you want to be wet or that are naturally wet, such as lips or soil. You dampen things that are naturally dry such as paper, cloth or brushes. Things can also be dampened by water, rain or sweat. 与dampen相比，moisten更具积极意义。moisten表示把想要弄湿的或本该潮湿的东西给弄湿，如lips或soil。dampen则表示把原本干燥的东西弄湿，如paper、cloth或brushes。dampen的主语也可以是water、rain或sweat。■ douse / /daʊs/ / [transitive] to pour a lot of liquid over sb/sth; to soak sb/sth in liquid, especially a liquid that can catch fire and burn easily 往⋯上泼水；把⋯浸在液体里（尤指容易起火燃烧的液体）◆The horses are doused with buckets of cold water.这些马被泼了一桶桶的冷水。◆The car was doused in petrol and set alight.那辆汽车被浇上汽油点燃了。 see also douse ⇨ put sth out ■ immerse /ɪˈmɜːs; NAmE ɪˈmɜːrs/ [transitive] (formal) to put sb/sth into a liquid so that they or it are completely covered 使浸没于◆The seeds will swell when immersed in water.这些种子浸泡在水里就会膨胀。▸ immersion /ɪˈmɜːʃn; NAmE ɪˈmɜːrʃn, ɪˈmɜːrʒn/ noun [uncountable] ◆Immersion in cold water resulted in a rapid loss of heat.浸泡在冷水中导致热量迅速流失。 |
