Question

enthusiasm n.热情；热心；热衷的事物 (1) 他的拒绝浇熄了我们的热情。(2) 他的热心激发了大家的兴致。(3) 我的一大爱好就是音乐。 The noun enthusiasm comes from the Greek word enthousiasmos, from enthous, meaning “possessed by a god, inspired.” It was originally used in a derogatory sense to describe excessive religious zeal. Today both the religious and derogatory connotations are gone from enthusiasm, but the zeal has survived. Use it to describe great excitement or interest, like what you feel when you’re doing something that you really, really enjoy.
