- 1859, Wilkie Collins, The Woman in White:
- It was the prettiest and most luxurious little sitting-room I had ever seen; and I admired it with the warmest enthusiasm.

- 2013, Daniel Taylor, Rickie Lambert's debut goal gives England victory over Scotland (in The Guardian, 14 August 2013)[1]

用法說明[編輯]
eulogy和elegy兩者詞形相似，發音相近，且均與死亡、葬禮的演講、詩詞有關，因此十分容易混淆。應記住elegy主要指哀悼，而eulogy主要指表揚，讚美。
