| 释义 | redolent According to Follett 1966, redolent with has a bad odor. He calls it "almost as uncouth as smells with would be." Bernstein 1965 says flatly that redolent takes the preposition of. And so it does: • ... are delightfully well-regulated, clean, orderly and redolent of pleasure —Albert Goldman, New York, 24 July 1972 • ... the air was redolent of sawdust, paint, and coffee —David Dorsey, New England Monthly, March 1988 But it also takes the preposition with, as a look in the OED clearly shows. Redolent of is the older and more common idiom, but redolent with has been in use since the early 19th century and is certainly standard: • The Grand Being entered his magnificent palace, redolent with fragrant perfumes —Henry Alabaster, The Wheel of the Law, 1871 (OED) • ... a London working-class shopping district ... redolent with fried fish shops —C. S. Forester, The African Queen, 1935 • ... the atmosphere had been redolent with sympathies —Angus Wilson, Such Darling Dodos, 1950 • ... the image is redolent with keen, even if less than original, irony —John Simon, New York, 18 Oct. 1976 |
