v.动词
flush, blush这组词都有“脸红”的意思,且词形相近。它们之间的细微差别是:
1.blush指因受窘、害羞或受惊而脸红; flush指因病如发烧、酒醉、用力或暴晒而脸红,也指因其他感情如高兴、激动、愤怒、窘迫发作而脸红。flush指羞涩之意不如blush强。
2.flush强调外表“面红耳赤”; 而blush强调内心的“羞愧”。
3.blush多用于女性; flush既可用于男性,也可用于女性。
4.blush仅用作不及物动词; flush既可用作及物动词,也可用作不及物动词。
blush，flush这两个动词均含有“脸红”之意。
blush侧重因羞愧或尴尬而突然脸红。
flush强调因愤怒、高兴、羞愧、发烧或酗酒等引起的脸红。
