- 1小溪;(正式,動詞)容忍
As a noun, a brook is a small, narrow stream of water — smaller than a river, the kind you might see running through a forest or field. As a formal verb, 'to brook' something means to tolerate or allow it — and it's almost always used in the negative, as in 'she would brook no argument,' meaning she would not allow any disagreement at all.
