| 释义 | drunk /drungk/, adj. 1. being in a temporary state in which one's physical and mental faculties are impaired by an excess of alcoholic drink; intoxicated: The wine made him drunk. 2. overcome or dominated by a strong feeling or emotion: drunk with power; drunk with joy. 3. pertaining to or caused by intoxication or intoxicated persons. n. 4. an intoxicated person. 5. a spree; drinking party. v. 6. pp. and nonstandard pt. of drink. [1300-50; ME drunken, OE druncen, ptp. of drincan to DRINK] Syn. 1. drunken, inebriated. Ant. 1-3. sober. Usage. Both DRUNK and DRUNKEN are used as modifiers before nouns naming persons: a drunk customer; a drunken merrymaker. Only DRUNK occurs after a linking verb: He was not drunk, just jovial. The actor was drunk with success. The modifier DRUNK in legal language describes a person whose blood contains more than the legally allowed percentage of alcohol: Drunk drivers go to jail. DRUNKEN, not DRUNK, is almost always the form used with nouns that do not name persons: drunken arrogance; a drunken free-for-all. In such uses it normally has the sense "pertaining to, caused by, or marked by intoxication." DRUNKEN is also idiomatic in such expressions as drunken bum. See also drink. |
