    小知识

    Engulf is a verb that means being completely surrounded, soaked, or covered. Fire, snow, smoke, flood waters, or even violence are a few things that could engulf you.

    Suppose an amusement park had a ride called Into the Whirlpool. Sounds like one for thrill-seekers who aren't afraid of water. Riders should expect to get lost inside, fully absorbed by the experience. The word engulf comes from the Old French word golfe, meaning “whirlpool,” and the prefix en-, meaning “in or into.” Riders of Into the Whirlpool should expect to feel engulfed — surrounded by water and completely covered.
