1. 1

    To shout — loudly, at length, and usually because you are angry or complaining. It is a rare, word, the kind you meet in a nineteenth-century novel or in writing that is being deliberately grand or a little funny about someone's temper. A crowd vociferates against a decision; an angry customer vociferates at the counter. If you use it in ordinary conversation, people will notice, and depending on the room they may find it . The word carries the picture of noise being carried out and thrown at someone, not just a raised voice. In real modern English you would say "shout", "yell", or "rant". Know it so you can read it; the related adjective "vociferous" is far more alive and is the one you will actually see in newspapers.

    大聲叫嚷、喧嚷(尤指抗議、抱怨時;書面語、罕用)
