喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Preach means to give a religious talk, usually in a church, explaining ideas from a holy book like the Bible — a priest or pastor preaches to their community. Outside religion, 'preach' is often used with a negative feeling: if someone 'preaches' about how you should live, work, or behave, it means they are lecturing you in a way that feels too moral, repetitive, or — 'stop preaching at me' means 'stop telling me what to do like you're better than me.'

    傳教、講道；(非宗教語境，帶負面意味)說教、訓話
