REEK
释义
To have a very strong and unpleasant smell; to stink. It can also mean to strongly show a particular quality or emotion, usually something negative.
用法与细微差别
'Reek' is often used for very bad smells, especially those that are strong and hard to ignore, like garbage or sweat. It can be both a verb ('to reek') and a noun ('a reek of smoke'). Also used metaphorically: 'reek of corruption'. More literary/formal than 'stink' in conversation.
