用法筆記
This sense often suggests indulgence rather than simple enjoyment. It can sound disapproving when someone seems to enjoy praise, luxury, attention, or dramatic detail too much.
常見錯誤
Use 'wallow in' before the thing being enjoyed: 'wallow in praise', not 'wallow praise'.
For neutral enjoyment, 'enjoy' or 'take pleasure in' may sound less critical than 'wallow in'.

用法筆記
This sense is usually critical. It implies that the person is staying inside a negative emotion longer than is useful, and may even seem to be feeding that feeling.
常見錯誤
Do not use this sense for a brief normal emotion. 'She felt sad for a while' is more neutral than 'She wallowed in sadness.'
Use a noun after 'in': 'wallow in self-pity', not 'wallow in self-pitying' unless the -ing form is acting as a noun phrase.
