Rave, rant, and spout all mean talking a lot with strong emotion. Rave and rant suggest anger and losing control. Spout means talking on and on, often long-winded, not always angry. This excludes rave as 'praise highly' and spout as liquid shooting out.
这三个词都可以表示情绪激动、控制不住地说很多话，但语气和侧重有别：rave 和 rant 都带有愤怒、失控的意味，而 spout 更侧重说得没完没了、显得啰嗦或自负，不一定带有怒气。这里不比较 rave 表示对某事物赞不绝口的用法（如 rave review），也不比较 spout 表示液体喷出的字面意思。
