💡 深入解读
Spurn 一词源自古英语spurnan（踢开、打击；拒绝、蔑视、轻视），最初也用来表示“践踏、一脚踢开”等含义，不过都已过时不再流行。现在主要使用 spurn 表示“轻蔑地拒绝”或者说“摒弃、唾弃”，侧重强调在拒绝中带有较强的不屑和轻蔑，
比如：
She was a resilient girl. She spurned my offers of help.她是个适应力强的女孩。她傲然拒绝了我的帮助。
The spurned lover derived great pleasure from playing the violin in the bleak winter.在阴冷的冬日里，这个遭到轻蔑拒绝的痴心爱慕者从拉小提琴中获得了极大的乐趣。
📚 名著用例
