    小知识

    To swell is to expand or grow larger. If your brother's face started to swell after he ate lobster for the first time, you'd probably guess that he's allergic to shellfish.

    You can use the word swell to describe what happens to an injured body part, like a black eye that swells up, or in a figurative way, to describe a feeling of fullness, like when your heart swells with pride at your sister's big music performance. In the 1930s, swell became a popular slang term meaning great or excellent. But it also can describe a wealthy, elegant person, like a group of swells at a fancy restaurant.

    swell是指由于受到内部力量的作用而在体积和容积方面增大,也可指数目或程度的增长,质量的提高,或曲面向上隆起,常表示“不正常的增大”;
    distend指在内部力量的压迫下向各个方向扩张或膨胀,暗示原来就处于完全空虚或松弛状态;
