流露

流露 means to show or reveal something naturally, often without conscious effort. It emphasizes an involuntary or spontaneous expression of emotion, thought, or character.

The character 流 (liú) means 'to flow' and 露 (lòu) means 'to appear' or 'to show.' Together, they suggest something flowing out or revealing itself, like a natural expression of feeling or personality.

流露 is commonly used in contexts where someone's true feelings or traits are revealed unintentionally. It appears in literature, conversation, and even in describing body language or tone of voice. It reflects the cultural value placed on sincerity and authenticity in communication.
