掩饰

• 拼音: yǎn shì
• 汉字拆解: 掩 = 扌(hand) + 奄 (cover suddenly); 饰 = 饣(adornment radical) + 巾 (cloth — adorning with cloth to change appearance, glossing over)

含义

To disguise; to gloss over; to conceal one's true feelings, intentions, or flaws. To put on a false appearance in order to hide an inner reality.

More focused on emotional or psychological concealment than 掩盖 (which is broader). Common in literature, psychology, and everyday speech: 掩饰情绪 (to mask one's emotions), 掩饰内心的慌乱 (to conceal inner panic), 难以掩饰的喜悦 (joy that cannot be hidden). Often implies the effort involved in maintaining a facade.

例句

1. 尽管他努力掩饰，但那双微微颤抖的双手还是出卖了他内心深处难以平息的紧张与不安。
2. 她用漫不经心的语气来掩饰自己对这段感情的在意，但熟悉她的朋友一眼便能看穿这种刻意为之的冷漠。
