1. 1浪漫化(把事情想得或說得比實際美好)

    To romanticize is to talk or think about something so that it sounds more beautiful, more , or more full of feeling than it really was. People romanticize the past (“school was wonderful”), a job, a place, even a hard time. It is often a mild criticism: you are not calling the person a liar, but you are saying the picture is too pretty. It is a fairly grown-up verb, common when we talk about memory and stories. British spelling is often romanticise, with an s. It does not mean “to behave in a romantic way” — flowers, love notes. That is a different idea.
