Question

tantalize v.（以可望而不可即之物）逗引或招惹（人或动物）；使着急 (1) 把那块骨头给那条狗吧--别让它乾著急了。(2) 他追求不到可望而不可即的权力和财富，受尽了折磨。 The word tantalize comes from a Greek story about a guy named Tantulus who was so evil that the gods of the underworld came up with a special punishment just for him (they were really good at that). They put him in a pool of water that drained away every time he bent down to drink. There was also a tree above his head that whisked away its juicy apples every time he tried to pick one. So, it only makes sense that to tantalize someone is to torture them with what they cannot have.
