📖 基本释义
[verb] inspire or permeate with (a feeling or quality)
[动词] 激发或充满（某种感觉或品质）
💡 深入解读
Imbue 一词源自拉丁语imbuere（使湿润、潮湿、浸湿、湿透），15世纪进入英语后作动词表示“使保持湿润”或“使浸泡、浸透”，
比如：
Nova tried to staunch the blood with a skirt imbued with blood.诺娃试图用一件浸透血污的女裙来止血
不过这个含义发展到今天，更多的是用来引申指“使……充满、向……灌输或激发”某种强烈感情、想法或价值等，强调如浸透那般透彻深入，常用搭配
imbue sth/sb with sth
Her languid voice was imbued with an unusual seriousness.，比如：她徐缓从容的声音里充满着一种不寻常的严肃语气。
The avid reader was imbued with a desire for social justice.那个酷爱读书的人满怀着寻求社会正义的愿望。
