vocabulary简明 If your supervisor at work describes your new position as “rife with opportunities for advancement,” then rejoice! That means your position offers many opportunities for advancement.
vocabulary扩展 Not to be confused with the word ripe (“fully grown or developed”), the adjective rife means “abundant” or “frequently occurring.” When used in a sentence, rife can follow the word that it’s describing, as in “development was rife during his administration” or “speculation was rife before the announcement.” More commonly, however, rife comes before the word it modifies and is used with the preposition with, as in “the class was rife with enthusiasm” or “her story was rife with inconsistencies.”
