小知识
To soak something is to submerge it into water. Before you cook dry beans, you soak them overnight first. If you’re not a bean, you can also soak up a cool experience by immersing yourself in it.
You can soak your dirty laundry in soapy water, or soak rice before you cook it, and you can also soak in a bubble bath. When you do this, you give these things (including yourself) a soak. Informally, the verb also means “immerse in an activity or experience,” like when you soak up the applause after your masterful violin performance.

动词辨析
soak,drench,impregnate,saturate,sop,steep,waterlog
这组词的共同含义是“浸泡”。其区别是soak强调完全浸泡在液体中,以致被浸泡的物质完全湿透、变软或溶化;saturate侧重指浸透到饱和的承度,暗示不能再增加了;steep特指把某物的精髓浸泡出来并使其同液体融为一体;impregnate主要指把某物浸泡在不是水的液体中使其渗透到各处;sop通常指用肉汤、牛奶或酒来泡食物,也指把某物用液体浸透;waterlog专指使某物浸透水,使其变得无用、太沉重或湿润;drench专指被雨水彻底淋透。wet,damp,soak
这些动词均有“使潮湿”之意。wet普通用词,一般指水所发挥的作用。damp指全部弄湿,侧重状态。soak多指浸没,侧重最后结果。
