This word has a few different lives. As a verb, to "rave about" something means to talk about it with huge excitement and praise, because you love it so much — "she raved about the movie." There's an older, stronger sense too: to rave can mean to talk wildly, almost out of control, like someone with a very high fever saying things that don't make sense. And as a noun, a "rave" is a big all-night dance party with loud electronic music, a style that became famous in the 1990s club scene.
(動詞)大力稱讚、讚不絕口;(名詞)銳舞派對(電音舞會)
