显得

• 拼音: xiǎn de
• 汉字拆解: 显 = 日 (sun) + 业 (simplified component), meaning to show or appear; 得 = 彳 (step) + 寸 (inch) + other components, here functioning as a structural particle

含义

To appear; to seem; to look. Indicates that something gives a certain impression or appears to have a certain quality.

Used to describe how something looks or appears to others, often implying a contrast between appearance and expectation. It is followed by an adjective or adjective phrase. Different from 看起来 which is more neutral; 显得 often suggests the appearance may differ from the underlying truth or that a change has caused a new impression.

例句

1. 穿了这件衣服，她显得更年轻了。
2. 房间里放了花，显得更温馨了。
3. 他今天显得特别高兴。
