| 释义 | soar (once / 431 pages) vn To soar means more than just to fly; it means to rise swiftly, to feel the wind slipping below you as you ride it higher, higher, higher. Flying is just moving through the air. Soaring, though, suggests exhilaration, even joy.

It's the same wonderful feeling you get when someone you have a crush on notices you, when you land that perfect job, when you hold your child.
