喜樂美語
  1. 1

    When you enfold someone or something, you cover or wrap them so completely that they are inside — a blanket, a pair of arms, fog, darkness. It is a soft, whole surrounding, not a quick cover and not a hard grab. Writers like this word more than everyday speakers do; in chat people usually say wrap, hug, or surround. You can enfold a child in your arms, enfold a gift in paper, or say the hills were enfolded in cloud. Though actually, it sits close to , but enfold keeps the picture of folding something around a person, as if they were being tucked in.

    環抱；包覆（偏書面，不一定是擁抱）
