ovation n.热烈欢迎；热烈的鼓掌 (1) 那位英雄受到人群的热烈欢迎。(2) 他离开舞台时，全体观众起立热烈鼓掌。 The noun ovation has origins in the Latin word ovare, meaning "exult, rejoice, triumph.” Ancient Romans used it to describe a ceremony honoring a general entering Rome following a minor triumph. By the nineteenth century ovation had taken on the more specific meaning: a display of appreciation and applause from an audience. Today, especially great performers get standing ovations, which means the audience rises from their seats as they clap.
