  1. 1v/heɪl/hail (praise, acclaim)譽為

    To say in a strong, public way that a person or thing is very good.

    文法及物動詞：動作後面要接受詞。

    「hail」這一義是公開、用力地說某人或某件事非常好。最常見是 be hailed as：被稱作傑作、英雄、成功。call 只是用某個詞去叫它；hail 帶著「大家一起讚」的力道。招手攔計程車是另一義。

  2. 2n/heɪl/hail (ice pellets)冰雹

    Small hard balls of ice that fall from the sky, like rain that has turned to ice.

    文法不可數名詞：通常不加 a/an，也不加 -s 來表示複數。

    「hail」當名詞這一義是從天上落下的小冰球，台灣叫冰雹。showers of rain and hail 常一起出現。sleet 是雨夾雪，比較濕；hail 是硬冰球。一陣批評、一陣雪球是另外的義。
