英文释义

动词 v.
  1. To howl loudly or prolongedly in lamentation or joy.
    — Should I ever marry, Watson, I should hope to inspire my wife with some feeling which would prevent her from being walked off by a housekeeper when my corpse was lying within a few yards of her. It was badly stage-managed; for even the rawest investigators must be struck by the absence of the usual feminine ululation.
  2. To produce a rapid and prolonged series of sharp noises with one's voice.
