evaporate
含义: To change from liquid to vapour; figuratively, to disappear or fade away gradually.
Evaporate is used literally in science (water evaporating from a surface) and figuratively to describe the gradual disappearance of something abstract: support evaporating, enthusiasm evaporating, hopes evaporating. The figurative use emphasises that the thing in question simply fades away without a clear moment of ending. Common collocations include 'evaporate quickly,' 'hopes evaporated,' 'support evaporated,' and 'enthusiasm evaporated.'
