用法筆記

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.

用法筆記
Rare as a noun; mostly literary or technical writing about birds, gliders, and the physics of flight. In everyday speech, learners should use the verb form. Distinguish from sense 2: sense 1 is the event of rising; sense 2 is the height or distance reached.

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.
