绝望主妇里面有一句话:
First of all,your father can't eat onions, He's deathly allergic.
And I won't even dignify your navy bean suggestion.

Dignify我只查到这个意思:
1. 使有尊严,使高贵
2. 抬高...的身价

但他在句子里好像不是那个意思啊???怎么理解?
我问在句子里是什么意思,怎么理解。。。
如果是我说的那个意思,怎么通啊???

《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第401页
就是你说的哪个意思
a ceremony dignified by the presence of the ambassador因大使的光临而生辉的典礼

dignify sb\sth (with sth )用尊贵的名字称呼某人,美其名曰
如:dignify a small collection of books with the name of library藏书不多却美其名曰图书馆
