深入解读
在小站（微信公众号：田间小站）去年推送的 小词详解 | replenish 的留言区，就有小伙伴说想到了 replete 和 deplete 这两个单词。其中 deplete 前几个月已经讲过了，那么今天就专门来说说 replete 这个单词。
该词由前缀 re- （一再）+词根 plet （满的；填满）+ e 构成，于14世纪末经古法语 replet （充满的）或者直接由拉丁语 repletus （充满的、满的）进入英语后，也是用来表示“充满的、装满的、充斥的”，常用搭配 replete with sth 作正式用语使用，而不能直接用在名词前，侧重强调供应充足或者被某物充满到了满溢的程度，比如：
这段时间满是各种危险。
This time period is replete with various perils.他是位饱学之士。我们需要更多像他这样有才干的人来使行将倒闭的公司起死回生。
He is a mind replete with learning. We need more people of his calibre to pull the moribund company back from the brink.
从这个概念出发， replete 还被用来表示“很饱的、饱食的”，也就是愉快地吃饱喝足之后，肚子处于被食物充满的状态，甚至到了吃得过饱的程度（to the point of being surfeited），比如：
吃了一大角的浇了一撮螺旋形掼奶油的多脂甜点后，塞尔吉奥终于饱了。
After a huge wedge of rich dessert topped with a swirl of whipped cream, Sergio was at last replete.
