    Synonyms shineshine
    • gleam
    • glow
    • sparkle
    • glisten
    • shimmer

    These words all mean to produce or reflect light.
    • shine to produce or reflect light, especially brightly:
      • The sun was shining and the sky was blue.阳光灿烂，天空一片蓝。
    • gleam to shine with a clear bright or pale light, especially a reflected light:
      • Moonlight gleamed on the water.月光照在水面上泛起粼粼波光。
    • glow (often of something hot or warm) to produce a steady light that is not very bright:

    • sparkle to shine brightly with small flashes of light:

    sparkle or glitter?用 sparkle 还是 glitter？There is very little difference in meaning between these two words. Glitter can sometimes suggest a lack of depth, but this is more frequent in the figurative use of glitter as a noun: the superficial glitter of show business. Sparkle is also often used to talk about light reflected off a surface, but things that produce light can also sparkle: Stars sparkled in the sky.
    • twinkle to shine with a light that changes rapidly from bright to faint to bright again:
      • Stars twinkled in the sky.星星在天空中闪烁。
    • glint to give small bright flashes of reflected light:
      • The blade of the knife glinted in the darkness.刀刃在黑暗中亮了亮。
