expression [ɪkˈsprɛʃən]:
The expression of ideas or
feelings is the showing of them through words, actions, or artistic activities.
【表達、表述】
Your expression is the way
that your face looks at a particular moment. It shows what you are thinking or
feeling. 【表情、神情】
分解:前綴ex= out,表示"出"、"外";字根press=press表示"擠壓";後綴sion,表名詞。
分析:”擠壓出來” = 表達。引伸為 “表情或神情”。
For example,
Laughter is one of the
most infectious expressions of emotion.
笑是最具感染力的情感表達方式之一。
There was no expression on
her face. 她臉上毫無表情。
"Shut up" is not
a polite expression. "住口"不是有禮貌的話。
