Question

devout adj.虔诚的；虔敬的；衷心的 (1) 虔诚的穆斯林准时地遵守斋月。 Devout is often used to describe religious individuals, but this word also pop ups in the context of sports fans — a fact that may shed some light on the role of sports in today's society. However, while it's usually acceptable for a devout individual to miss work for religious holidays, devout sports fans have a tougher time convincing their boss to let them off for the big game.
