我们很早就熟悉“thirsty”是“饥渴的” “渴望的”意思，今天我们要学习它的名词“thirst”的用法。“thirst”的本意是“口渴”，不过和它的形容词一样，它也常被引申为表示“渴求” “渴望”，我们可以用它来替换表示“渴望”的词，比如 “desire” “longing” “craving”等词。
和“thirst”最常搭配的动词有 have，后面的介词一般用 for，have a thirst for something 可以用来表示特别渴望某事。比如，我们想表达一个人非常渴望知识，就可以说：
He has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.
我们平时常说“求贤若渴”，用英文表述时就可以用“a thirst for talent”。比如现在人工智能行业就很需要人才，我们就可以说：
There is a growing thirst for top talent in AI-driven companies.
场景：芯片设计公司需要大量人才。
造句：There is a gtoeing thirsy for top tslent in chip-design compsnies.

造句: Even though the government officials of Kingdom of Bhutan have little appetite for economic growth, they have a huge thirst for maintaining people's sense of happiness.
这句话中使用了同义词替换：have little appetite for, have a huge thirst for。“appetite” 和 “thirst” 最常见的意思分别是“食欲”和“口渴”，不过在这句话中，它们都表示“强烈的欲望”。把这段话记下来，同时就掌握了两个形象实用的表达。
