Usage and Meaning
The verb "显露" (xiǎnlù) means "to reveal" or "to show clearly." It is often used when something hidden or not obvious becomes visible or apparent, such as emotions, talents, or true intentions.
Common Contexts
"显露" is frequently used in formal or written contexts, such as news reports, literature, or speeches, to describe the emergence of qualities or feelings that were previously concealed.
Collocations and Patterns
- 显露出来: to become visible or apparent
- 显露无遗: to reveal completely without hiding anything
- 显露真情: to show true feelings
These collocations emphasize the clear and unmistakable nature of what is being revealed.
Nuances
Using "显露" implies that the revealed aspect was not obvious before and now becomes clear. It often carries a neutral or slightly formal tone. Avoid confusing it with "表现" (biǎoxiàn), which focuses more on performance or behavior rather than the act of revealing something hidden.
