How to Understand
显得
显得 is a verb that means 'to seem' or 'to appear.' It is used to describe how something or someone looks, feels, or is perceived in a particular way, often contrasting with reality or expectations.
The character 显 (xiǎn) originally meant 'to show' or 'to be evident,' while 得 (de) is a modal particle that indicates the result or manner of an action. Together, 显得 conveys the idea of appearing or seeming in a certain way.
It is commonly used in daily conversation to express appearances, such as how someone looks, behaves, or sounds. For example, it can be used to describe someone looking younger than their age or an object appearing more expensive than it is. It is often used in both formal and informal contexts.
