今天我們要學(xué)的詞是 covet.
covet 的意思是貪圖,令人渴望的。 The presidential hopefuls who covet the honor and privilege of being the leader of the U.S. are promising anything to get votes, but voters are skeptical about whether the politicians can deliver. 那些渴望得到美國總統(tǒng)的榮譽(yù)和特權(quán)的參選人們?yōu)橼A得選票而做出各種承諾,但選民們對這些政客是否能夠兌現(xiàn)承諾持懷疑態(tài)度。
Musicians who perform in New York City subway stations don't just show up there to earn a little cash and entertain commuters, they have to compete to perform in the coveted spots. 在紐約市地鐵站表演的音樂家們不是隨便出現(xiàn)在那里賺點(diǎn)錢、給過路人帶來娛樂,他們必須經(jīng)過競爭才能在那些令人垂涎的地方表演。
