动词 v.

英文释义

动词 v.
  1. To do (something) with ease
    — His patent leather boots were tight and ill-suited to the rough going, nor were his black trousers in keeping with his amusement. He looked, indeed, a curious hybrid, a sportsman from his crown to the bottom of his jacket, and a man of the world about the legs. Moreover, his wind was not good, and we were without compassion; we drove him along, and brought him home foot-sore and weary. Angel, on the other hand, enjoyed herself exceedingly; she made nothing of the rough going, and came back as fresh, or rather fresher, than she started.
  2. To consider as trifling or unimportant.
    — We are industrious to preserve our bodies from slavery, but we make nothing of suffering our souls to be slaves to our lusts.
  3. To fail to understand.
    — I made nothing of what he said.
