Weep意思
"Weep" 是一個英語動詞,意思是哭泣、流淚。它通常用來描述因為悲傷、痛苦、感動或其他強烈的情感而流眼淚的行為。例如:
- She wept uncontrollably when she heard the news. (當她聽到這個訊息時,她無法控制地哭泣。)
- The old man wept tears of joy when his granddaughter was born. (當他的孫女出生時,這位老人流下了喜悅的淚水。)
- The students wept as they said goodbye to their beloved teacher. (學生們在向他們親愛的老師告別時哭了。)
在文學作品中,"weep" 也可以用來形容事物的狀態,表示它們看起來像是因某種情感而哭泣。例如:
- The willow trees wept in the breeze. (柳樹在微風中輕輕搖曳,像是在哭泣。)
- The sky wept rain as the storm approached. (隨著風暴的臨近,天空下起了雨。)
在口語中,"weep" 有時也被用來形容液體從物體中滲出或滴落,儘管這個用法並不嚴格符合字典定義。例如:

- The car's oil pan was weeping oil. (汽車的油底殼在漏油。)
需要注意的是,"weep" 通常指的是持續的哭泣,而不是短暫的流淚。如果是短暫的流淚,通常使用 "cry" 或者 "shed tears"。
