【vocabulary】
aspire [əˈspaɪər] v. 嚮往；渴望；有志於
meaning :
have an ambitious plan or a lofty goal
意義：
有一個雄心勃勃的計劃或一個崇高的目標
【The Meaning and Etymology of the Word 'aspire'】
'Aspire' comes from the Latin word 'aspirare', which means 'to breathe upon' or 'to seek to attain'.
Over time, 'aspire' has come to mean 'to aim or seek ambitiously'.
To aspire means to have a strong desire to achieve something.
Over time, 'aspire' evolved to mean 'to rise up', and later, 'to desire earnestly'.
So, when we aspire, we're not just desiring, we're reaching, breathing, and rising towards our goals.
“Aspire”源自拉丁語“aspirare”，意思是“呼吸”或“尋求實現”。
隨著時間的推移，“aspire”逐漸意味著“雄心勃勃地瞄准或尋求”。
渴望意味著有強烈的願望去實現某件事。
隨著時間的推移，“aspire”逐漸演變為“奮起”的意思，後來又演變為“熱切渴望”的意思。
因此，當我們有抱負時，我們不僅僅是在渴望，我們還在實現、呼吸並朝著我們的目標前進。
