短释义：
The verb aspire commonly means to aim or shoot for. But it comes from the Latin word aspirare, which means “to breathe upon.” So here’s a trick for remembering this word: Think of yourself reaching up towards a spire, that really tall, tapered structure at the top of a church. Or, if you’re in a poetic mood, imagine your wish as a feather that moves forward when you blow on it.
你的人生目标包括统治世界吗？有一个涉及金牌和国际声誉的雄心勃勃的计划吗？那么你一定知道渴望做大事意味着什么。

动词 aspire 通常意味着瞄准或射击。但它来自拉丁语 aspirare，意思是“呼吸”。所以这里有一个记住这个词的技巧：想象一下你自己伸向尖塔，那是教堂顶部非常高的锥形结构。或者，如果您处于诗意的心情，请将您的愿望想象成一根羽毛，当您吹气时它会向前移动。

词源：
aspire (v.)”strive for, seek eagerly to attain, long to reach,” c. 1400, aspiren, from Old French aspirer “aspire to; inspire; breathe, breathe on” (12c.), from Latin aspirare “to breathe upon, blow upon, to breathe,” also, in transferred senses, “to be favorable to, assist; to climb up to, to endeavor to obtain, to reach to, to seek to reach; infuse,” from ad “to” (see ad-) + spirare “to breathe” (see spirit (n.)).
The notion is of “panting with desire,” or perhaps of rising smoke. The literal sense of “breathe, exhale” (1530s) is rare in English. Related: Aspired; aspiring.Related entries & more
