1. 1

    An old, rather literary word meaning : there is a lot of it, enough and more. You find it in poems, prayers, and older books — plenteous harvest, plenteous rain, a plenteous God. In ordinary speech people say , abundant, or simply plenty of. The meaning is warm and full, not sarcastic. Using it today makes you sound as if you have out of a hymn or a history play, which is sometimes the point.

    豐富的;充裕的(文雅/舊說法)
