soar + by/to/from + number
prices soared
用法筆記
Subject is usually a measurable quantity (prices, rates, profits, demand, temperatures). Frequently followed by 'by + percentage' or 'from X to Y' to quantify the rise. Distinguish from sense 2: sense 1 is metaphorical numerical rise; sense 2 is literal physical height.

文法句型
soar + above/over/through + place
用法筆記
Subject is typically a bird with wide wings (eagle, hawk, vulture, condor) or an engineless aircraft (glider, hang-glider, paraglider). The verb implies effortless flight using thermals, not powered flight. Distinguish from sense 3: sense 2 is the literal flight; sense 3 is reaching great height in general.

文法句型
soar + above/over + landmark
soar + into + the sky

Subject is a tall fixed object — buildings, towers, spires, cliffs, mountains, trees. The verb describes static vertical extent, not movement; the structure does not actually rise, but it appears to thrust upward. Often paired with 'above', 'into', or measurements.

用法筆記

The metaphor borrows the effortless-flight image of sense 2 to suggest something rising above the ordinary. Most common in arts criticism, sports commentary, and competition reports.

文法句型
the soar + of + bird/glider
用法筆記
Used in technical or naturalist contexts where the size of a flight matters — bird-watching logs, gliding competition reports, raptor research notes. The number after 'of' or 'at' is the measured height or distance. Distinguish from sense 1: sense 1 is the event itself; sense 2 is its measurable extent.
