1
wash yourself or someone in water
To wash your body, or another person or animal, in water, usually in a bath or shower.
用法パターン：
to bathe [yourself/someone]
よくある間違い：
Learners often confuse "bath" and "bathe". "Bath" is usually a noun ("take a bath"), while "bathe" is the verb ("bathe the baby"). In American English people often prefer "take a bath" instead of "bathe" for washing themselves.
類義語
wash (General word for cleaning with water; does not always mean the whole body or a bath/shower.)
|
bathe (AmE: take a bath) (In American English, people more often say "take a bath" for washing the whole body.)
対義語

3
clean a wound or sore
To carefully wash a cut, sore place, or eyes with water or medicine to clean or calm it.
用法パターン：
to bathe [a wound/eyes/an injury]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use only "wash" for medical care. In health instructions, "bathe the wound" sounds more careful and gentle than simply "wash the wound".
類義語
rinse (Emphasizes quickly washing with clean liquid; less about gentle care or medical treatment.)
|
cleanse (More formal/medical; focuses on making very clean, especially to prevent infection.)
対義語
infect (To cause germs to enter a wound so it becomes worse, the opposite of cleaning it to protect from infection.)

cover completely with light or liquid
To cover someone or something fully with light, water, or another liquid.
用法パターン：

Learners sometimes say "full of light" or "covered by light". In natural English, "bathed in light" or "flooded with light" are common fixed phrases.
類義語
flood (Often used with "light"; suggests filling a place with a large amount of light or liquid.)
|
drench (Focuses on making something very wet; often sounds stronger or less gentle than "bathe".)
対義語

soak body part in liquid
To put a part of your body in water or another liquid for some time to clean it or to help it feel better.
用法パターン：
to bathe [a body part] in [liquid]
よくある間違い：
Learners may only know "soak" for this idea. For body parts, especially in health or home-care advice, "bathe your feet/hands" is common and slightly more careful in tone than "soak your feet".
類義語
soak (General word for keeping something in liquid; does not itself suggest care or comfort.)
|
immerse (More technical and formal; focuses on putting something fully under a liquid.)
対義語
dry (To remove water or liquid from something, the opposite of soaking it.)

6
revel in praise or admiration
To very much enjoy praise, success, or a good feeling, as if you are inside it.
用法パターン：
to bathe in [praise/glory/admiration]
よくある間違い：
Learners may try to say "enjoy the glory very much" or only use "bask in". "Bathe in glory/praise" is less common but natural, and always figurative, not about real water.
類義語
revel (Focuses strongly on taking great pleasure, often used in "revel in"; does not use the image of being covered in something.)
|
bask (Common in "bask in glory/praise"; similar metaphor of enjoying warm attention or success.)
対義語

(Mainly British English) A short, fun swim in the sea, a river, or a lake.
用法パターン：

類義語
swim (Most common general word; not limited to natural water and not always short or for pleasure.)
|
