President Obama used the final press conference of his first term to warn
congressional Republicans that he will not negotiate with them over the debt

这些动词均有“吸收”之意。

吸收知识等抽象概念的东西。
eg: 1.Dry earth absorbs water quickly.
干土吸水很快。
2.You should absorb lots of knowledge when you are young.
你应该在年轻的时候多吸收知识。
2.suck ：作“吸收”解时，可与absorb换用，但还可有“吮吸”之意。
eg: 1.He sucked hard for air to keep breathing.
他拼命吸气以维持呼吸。
2.The baby was sucking its mother's breast.
