英语词汇“ovation”的英英意思、用法、释义、翻译、读音、例句、短语、词组-英语词典

Hear that applause and cries of "Bravo"? Your audience is giving you an ovation, or praise for a great performance.

The noun ovation has origins in the Latin word ovare, meaning "exult, rejoice, triumph.” Ancient Romans used it to describe a ceremony honoring a general entering Rome following a minor triumph. By the nineteenth century ovation had taken on the more specific meaning: a display of appreciation and applause from an audience.
