imbue A with B
セサミストリートのCount役でおなじみだった声優が亡くなりました。imbueはラテン語の「ぬらす」を原義とする動詞で、「吹きこむ、染める」の意味です。ドイツなまりのCountの声は彼の人柄がにじみでたものだったのですね。Wone, Two, Dree! ご冥福をお祈りします。（GP）
PUPPETEER Jerry Nelson, who voiced Sesame Street’s Count von Count, has died aged 78.
Lisa Henson, CEO of the Jim Henson Company, said on Friday: “Jerry imbued all his characters with the same gentle, sweet whimsy and kindness that were a part of his own personality.
“His contributions to the Fraggles, Muppets, Sesame Street and so many others are, and will continue to be, unforgettable.”
