stay for a long time; be unwilling to leave
be slow, dawdle
"Her perfume lingered on"
"The high school students like to loiter in the Central Square"
"Who is this man that is hanging around the department?"
"The shy student lingered in the corner"
The first linger away their lives in perpetual drudgery.

Half measures do but linger out the feud.

他为什么留在学校不走?
Formerly he often lingered about a park doing nothing.
从前,他一直在公园闲荡,无所事事。
不要虚度假日,尽量找些有意义的事情去做。
此种风俗历久犹存。
The event is over, but the memory lingers on.
事件已过,但记忆犹存。
Some of the guests lingered on until well after 2 a.m.
有些客人迟迟不去,一直呆到翌晨两点钟以后。
他津津乐道地讲述着自己的业绩。
