短释义：
Crave is typically used in the context of emotional or physical desires rather than practical needs. For example, most people crave a hug or a cup of hot cocoa every now and then, but it’s unusual to crave a new filing cabinet or tie rack — although if that’s how you feel, don’t let us interfere. Interestingly, crave comes from an Old English word meaning “demand.” Perhaps our ancestors were more assertive about getting what they wanted.
渴望某物就是对它有强烈的渴望，就像一个人渴望爱情、名声或炸薯条一样。

渴望通常用于情感或身体欲望而不是实际需要。例如，大多数人时不时地渴望一个拥抱或一杯热可可，但渴望一个新的文件柜或领带架是不寻常的——尽管如果你有这种感觉，请不要让我们干涉。有趣的是，“crave”源自古英语单词，意思是“需求”。也许我们的祖先对于得到他们想要的东西更加自信。
