扑面而来

• 拼音: pū miàn ér lái
• 汉字拆解: 扑 = 扌 + 卜 (hand — to rush/pounce); 面 = (pictograph of face — face/surface); 而 = (conjunction — and then); 来 = (wheat stalk — to come)

含义

To come sweeping towards one's face; to hit one full in the face. Describes a powerful sensation — smell, wind, atmosphere, or impression — that rushes towards you all at once.

Originally literal (wind in the face), now almost exclusively figurative. Common with sensory and atmospheric descriptions: 清香扑面而来 (a fresh fragrance wafts over), 寒意扑面而来 (a chill hits), 历史感扑面而来 (a sense of history rushes over you). Vivid and literary.

例句

1. 推开古宅的木门，一股夹杂着樟木与旧纸气息的陈年香气扑面而来，令人不禁沉浸在那份沉甸甸的历史感之中。
2. 走进市集，各摊位飘来的香料与烤肉混合香气扑面而来，瞬间勾起了久违的童年街头记忆。
3. 她翻开那本泛黄的老相册，浓浓的岁月感便扑面而来，每一张照片都承载着一段无法复刻的珍贵往事。

错误说法
