用法
In recent years weaned on has come to be widely used in the sense 「raised on,」 as in Moviegoers weaned on the Star Trek TV series will doubtless find the film to their liking. A few critics have objected to this usage on the grounds that wean refers literally to a detachment from a source of nourishment. But the process of weaning involves a substitution of some other form of nourishment for mother's milk; thus it is sometimes said that a child is weaned onto or on sugar water. Hence a sentence like Paul was weaned on Dixieland may suggest metaphorically that Paul's exposure to Dixieland began from the time he stopped nursing, that is, from a very early age.
近些年來weaned on 已經被廣泛地用於「被…養大」的意義， 如此句看著 特萊克明星 電視連續劇長大的影迷會毫無疑問地發現這部電影對他們的胃口。 一些批評家反對這種用法的理由在於wean 原指脫離營養之源。 但是斷奶的過程包含了以別種形式營養代替母乳；於是有時候我們說一個孩子斷奶水 或 糖水。 因此句子如保羅是聽著迪克西爵士樂長大的 可能暗喻地表示保羅從停奶的時候，也就是很早以前就聽過迪克西爵士樂了
