glow
★★
🇺🇸 /ɡlˈoʊ/
🇬🇧 /ɡləʊ/
glow既可以作名词,指持续而柔和的光、暖意或脸上的红润,也可以作动词,表示发出这种光热,并引申为流露强烈情感;网络语境中还有与钓鱼执法或举报有关的边缘义项。
💡 记忆钩子
想象一团被火烘热、从内部透出光的东西:它先是“发光、发热”,所以是光或暖意;这种由内而外的热又能变成脸上的红润、环境的色彩,以及热烈情感的流露。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“柔和地发光”以及“脸上泛红、流露热情”这条主线,再接触网络语境中的特殊义项。
- 不要把glow只理解成强烈刺眼的“闪光”;它通常带有持续、柔和、仿佛从内部透出的感觉。
- 网络义项与普通的“发光”关系很远,阅读论坛时结合上下文辨认,不必与日常义项混记。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 柔和的光📖 指发光物体持续散出的光,常像火焰、灯或余烬在暗处形成的一层柔和亮光。💡 常用“the glow of + 光源”或“a faint/soft glow”表示光的来源和强弱;也可说“a glow in the dark”。它既可数也不可数,但不可数用法更常用于泛指光或光亮。countable uncountableA warm glow came from the lamp by the window.窗边的灯发出温暖的光。
-
core 内在的热情📖 指人因热爱、兴奋或强烈感情而显出的温暖热烈状态,仿佛心里在发光发热。💡 常见结构是“the glow of + 感情或经历”,也可说“a glow of pride/hope”;它强调由内而外的热情,不等于短暂的惊讶。这个义项常用于较积极的语境,不能随意替换表示愤怒的词。countable uncountableShe spoke about her students with a glow of pride.她带着自豪而热烈的神情谈起自己的学生。
-
common 红润或色彩的光泽📖 指脸、皮肤或周围环境呈现出的明亮暖色,尤其是运动、健康或兴奋后脸上的红润。💡 常用“a glow on + 身体部位”或“a healthy glow”来描述脸色,也可用“the glow of + 色彩/天空”描述环境。它通常是自然、明亮的色泽,不专指化妆品造成的颜色。countable uncountableAfter her run, a healthy glow covered her face.跑步后,她脸上泛着健康的红润。
glows
plural
verb
-
core 发出柔光📖 指火、灯或余烬等像被加热一样持续发光,重点是光从物体内部透出。💡 常用“主语 + glow”或“主语 + be still glowing”,也可说“glow in the dark”。它通常是不及物用法,不能直接接表示被照亮对象的宾语;想表达“照亮某处”应换用相应的及物动词。The embers were still glowing after midnight.午夜过后,余烬还在发着红光。
-
common 发热到发红📖 指物体因高温而发热,甚至发出红光;这里的重点是热度达到可见的程度。💡 常用“glow red/hot”或“glow with heat”描述加热后的状态,主语通常是金属、煤块等物体。它可作系动词连接颜色或温度形容词,不要把它误当作单纯的“变暖”。copulativeThe metal glowed red in the furnace.金属在熔炉里烧得通红。
-
common 流露强烈情感📖 指人的脸、眼神或整个人因热情、信念等强烈感情而显得炽热,像从内部发光。💡 常见结构是“人 + glow with + 感情”,如热情、骄傲或兴奋;也可用“glowing with...”作补充描述。这个用法多带积极或强烈色彩,不是普通的“感到开心”或“看起来不错”。The children glowed with excitement when the curtain rose.幕布升起时,孩子们兴奋得容光焕发。
-
rare 热烈地凝视📖 指带着强烈感情专注地凝视某人或某物,是“内在热情向外显露”在目光上的延伸。💡 通常用“glow at + 对象”或“glow with admiration”一类结构;它带有文学色彩,日常会话中更常直接说“热烈地凝视”。不要把它和普通的“看”或“发光”混为一谈。
-
common 明亮而稳定地闪耀📖 指某处或某物持续明亮、充满暖色,未必真的被加热,常用于灯光、色彩或气氛。💡 常用“地点/物体 + glow with + 色彩或光”以及“glow brightly”这样的结构;主语可以是房间、屏幕、城市等。这里强调稳定、饱满的亮度,不表示灯光一闪一闪。The room glowed with soft yellow light.房间里充满柔和的黄色光。
-
rare 使变热或发红📖 指把某物加热,或使人的脸颊发红,是“发热”义的及物延伸。💡 通常用“glow + 宾语”表示使某物变热或发红,但这种用法很少见且偏旧。现代英语中更自然的表达往往使用“heat”或“flush”等词,因此不要照搬到普通会话。transitive
-
common 感到灼热📖 指皮肤或身体因运动、摩擦、炎热等而发烫,仿佛热量从体内透到表面。💡 常用“身体部位 + glow”或“glow from/with + 原因”描述发热感;它是不及物动词,不能直接说成“glow someone”。语境可以是健康的运动后发热,也可以是天气或摩擦造成的不适。intransitiveMy cheeks were glowing after cycling in the sun.在阳光下骑车后,我的脸颊热得发红。
-
rare 与网络钓鱼执法有关📖 网络语境中的特殊用法,指某个账号或帖子被怀疑属于卧底诱捕行动,尤其涉及美国联邦执法机构;它不是普通的“发光”。💡 主要出现在网络评论中,常以“主语 + glow”或“glowing”作讽刺、怀疑的说法。它高度依赖论坛语境,正式写作和日常会话中不宜使用,也不要用来泛指所有警方调查。Internet intransitive
-
rare 向当局举报某人📖 网络俚语,指把某人暴露给执法部门或举报给当局,是从“卧底诱捕”义进一步引出的说法。💡 常见于网络帖子和评论,通常需要从上下文判断对象是被举报者还是举报行为。它带明显俚语和贬义色彩,不能替代正式语境中的“举报”或“向当局报告”。Internet
-
rare 发帖引来警方调查📖 网络俚语,指故意或看似故意发布带有暴力威胁、可疑到足以招来警方调查的帖子。💡 多用于评论某则帖子时,常把发帖者或帖子本身说成“glow”;它是网络语境中的讽刺判断,不是法律术语。使用时要避免把普通的冒犯性帖子一概称为此词所指的内容。Internet

🌳 词源
源自古英语glōwan,最初与发光、发热有关;它与德语中表示“炽热”的同源词有关。
The verb is derived from Middle English glouen, glowen (“to give off heat and light without flame; of a thing: to be heated until red hot; to be brightly coloured; to shine brightly; (figurative) to be filled with emotion; of the face, etc.: to turn red, flush; etc.”), and then either:
* from Old English glōwan (“to glow”) (a strong verb), from Proto-West Germanic *glōan (“to glow”); or
* because the Middle English and modern English words are weak verbs, possibly from Old Norse *glówa, thought to be a variant of glóa (“to glow”), also a weak verb;
both from Proto-Germanic *glōaną (“to glow”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰleh₁- (“to shine, glow; to be shining, glowing”). Possibly a doublet of glass.
The noun is derived from the verb.
