To satiate a desire or need is to satisfy it so fully that you have had enough — and often too much. Food and sex are the senses books mention first, but the verb also takes hunger, curiosity, or a thirst for news.

To satiate a desire or need satiate一個desire或need is to satisfy it so fully就是把它滿足到非常徹底的程度 that you have had enough讓你已經夠了 — and often too much而且常常是太多了. Food and sex食物和性 are the senses books mention first是書上最先提到的兩種感受, but the verb不過這個動詞 also takes hunger, curiosity, or a thirst for news也可以搭配飢餓、好奇心，或對新聞的渴望.

It is more formal than fill, feed, or satisfy, and a bit heavier than sate; you meet it in writing more than in chat.

It它 is more formal than fill, feed, or satisfy比fill、feed或satisfy都要正式, and a bit heavier than sate而且比sate的語氣重一點; you你 meet it比較常在寫作裡 in writing more than in chat遇到它，而不是在聊天中.
