每日一词学英语(97): resounding

Birth control was one of the resounding policy successes of the last quarter of the last century. (From Times Online, August 3, 2009: China’s future will be hobbled by old age)

这个词经常和success、victory搭配,同义词是emphatic,意思是:very great。
*a resounding victory / win / defeat
*The evening was a resounding success.
*The question was answered with a resounding yes.
