💡 深入解读
Weary 是一个与小站之前推送过的wary较为形似也容易混淆的单词，该词主要指经过长时间连续不断的辛苦努力工作后而“疲劳的、疲倦的、疲惫的、精神不振的”，
比如：
His work is an interesting hybrid of popular and classical music. It can replenish your weary soul.他的作品是经典与流行音乐有趣的混合，可以给你疲惫的心灵充注活力。
She soon grew weary of listening to the tedious details of his salvage operation.这种疲惫常意味着无法忍受、经历更多相同的事情，或者因精力或兴趣耗尽而不愿意继续努力或关注，因而也可以用 weary of (doing) sth 表示“对……不再感兴趣、不再热心、感到厌烦的”，常作正式用语使用，比如：她很快便对听他唠叨他那次抢救行动的繁琐细节厌烦起来。
反过来 weary 也常作书面用语指“使人疲劳的、令人厌烦的”，主要形容某个事情需要大量的精力或耐力，或者说又累又乏味的，比如使人疲乏的长途旅程（a long and weary journey）、令人心焦的等待（a weary wait）。用作动词时， weary 则相应表示“使疲劳、使疲倦”以及“（使）厌烦、不耐烦、失去热情”，
比如：
The office is rife with vicious gossip. But don't worry. Gossip, after all, soon wearies.这间办公室里恶毒的谣言层出不穷。不过别担心，流言蜚语终不能长久。
