You can picture a large bird high over a valley, wings held open and still, carried upward by the warm air instead of flapping. Two things sit inside that picture: it is high, and it goes up easily. Almost every other use of 'soar' borrows one or both — prices climb like that bird, hopes lift like that bird, and a tower can simply hold the height without moving at all.

可以想成一隻大鳥在山谷上空,翅膀張開卻幾乎不動,被熱氣流一路托著往上。這個畫面裡有兩個東西:一是「高」,二是「輕鬆地往上」。soar 其他的用法幾乎都是借走其中一樣——價格像那隻鳥一樣往上竄,心情像那隻鳥一樣被托起來,而一棟高樓則是把「高」留下、把「動」拿掉。
