(as sth.) ,可以理解成:表示“为……喝彩;夸赞……为……;把……誉为……”这个含义; to describe sb/sth as being very good or special, especially in newspapers, etc. 或者to say publicly how good or important something is; eg: The conference was hailed as a great success. 这次会议被誉为一次巨大的成功。 eg: He is being hailed a hero for saving a young child from drowning. 由于救了一个年幼的溺水儿童,他被誉为英雄。 eg: The crowds hailed the boxing champion. 人们向这位拳击冠军喝彩。 eg: She's been hailed as one of the best young dancers today. 她被誉为当今最有前途的年轻舞蹈家之一。 eg: The film was hailed as a masterpiece in its day. 那部电影被誉为当时的经典之作。 2. flair怎么使用呢?这个单词当名词去用,可以理解成:natural ability to do something well “某个人的天赋、天资”;此时它是一个可数名词; eg: He has a flair for languages. 他具有语言天赋。 eg: Our youngest son has a flair for drawing. 我们最小的儿子有画画天分。 【尝试翻译以下句子,并留言在文章留言区】 The manager hailed his young team as potential champions.
