Back in the early 15th century, you would have been called ravenous if you were greedy and obsessed with stealing, much like a pirate. Nowadays, it’s often used to describe extreme hunger or desire. Having a ravenous appetite means you’re literally hungry like the wolf, snarling and growling (stomach) included. So do everyone in the lunchroom a favor and remember to eat breakfast.
早在 15 世纪初，如果您贪婪并沉迷于偷窃，就像海盗一样，就会被称为贪婪的人。如今，它常被用来形容极度饥饿或欲望。食欲旺盛意味着你真的像狼一样饥饿，包括咆哮和咆哮（胃）。帮午餐室里的每个人一个忙，记得吃早餐。
