Meaning and Usage
"迸发" means to burst forth suddenly and forcefully, often describing something like liquid, energy, emotions, or ideas that emerge explosively. It is commonly used in both literal and figurative contexts.
Common Contexts
- Literal: describing physical phenomena such as lava, water, or sparks bursting out.
- Figurative: describing emotions, creativity, or energy that suddenly appear with great intensity.
Collocations and Patterns

Usage Notes
"迸发" often implies a sudden and vigorous outburst, stronger than just "出现" (appear) or "发生" (happen). It is more vivid and dynamic, suitable for dramatic or intense situations. Avoid using it for slow or gradual processes.
Common Confusion
Do not confuse "迸发" with "爆发". While both can mean "burst forth," "爆发" often implies an explosion or outbreak (e.g., war, disease), whereas "迸发" emphasizes a sudden gushing or spurting out, often with a visual or emotional nuance.
