【适用场合】
今天节目中我们一起来学习两个单词的用法。
- hail，这个单词以前你可能听说过hail a taxi/cab，可以理解成“挥手叫出租车”；此时的hail怎么理解呢？to signal to a taxi or a bus, in order to get the driver to stop
eg: Shall we hail a taxi?
我们要挥手拦一辆出租车吗？
但是今天视频中hail的用法明显不一样。今天视频中hail的用法类似于昨天节目中出现的applaud，英文中常说hail sb./sth. (as sth.) 可以理解成：“为……喝彩；夸赞……为……；把……誉为……”这个含义；
to describe sb./sth. as being very good or special, especially in newspapers, etc.
或者to say publicly how good or important something is；
eg: The conference was hailed as a great success.
这次会议被誉为一次巨大的成功。
eg: He is being hailed a hero for saving a young child from drowning.
由于救了一个年幼的溺水儿童，他被誉为英雄。
eg: The crowds hailed the boxing champion.
人们向这位拳击冠军喝彩。
eg: She's been hailed as one of the best young dancers today.
她被誉为当今最有前途的年轻舞蹈家之一。
eg: The film was hailed as a masterpiece in its day.
那部电影被誉为当时的经典之作。
- flair怎么使用呢？这个单词当名词去用，可以理解成：natural ability to do something well
“某个人的天赋、天资”；此时它是一个可数名词；
eg: He has a flair for languages.
他具有语言天赋。
eg: Our youngest son has a flair for drawing.
我们最小的儿子有画画天分。
