muse
意味: To reflect or meditate on something in a quiet, dreamy manner; as a noun, a source of artistic inspiration.
As a verb, muse suggests a gentler, more wistful form of thought than 'ponder' or 'contemplate.' It often appears in literary journalism and feature writing, frequently followed by 'on,' 'about,' or 'over.' The noun form refers to a guiding creative spirit, from the Greek Muses. In broadsheet profiles, public figures are often described as 'musing aloud' to indicate unguarded reflection.
