word

/ˈweɪd/
wayd
/wˈeɪd/
wayd

释义

To walk through water, mud, or something similar that is deep enough to make movement difficult. It can also mean to move slowly and with effort through a large amount of something, such as paperwork or information.

用法与细微差别

Common with 'through' and things like 'water,' 'mud,' 'snow,' or 'paperwork': 'wade through a river,' 'wade through mud,' 'wade through emails.' It often suggests slow, difficult movement. In figurative use, it is common in everyday and journalistic English. Don't confuse it with 'walk' (neutral) or 'swim' (moving in water without standing).
