用法要点

与介词 with 连用表示原因(如充满某物导致凸起),与 out of 连用表示从某处凸出,与 in 连用表示在特定位置凸起。

常见错误

❌ 错误:The balloon bulged air.
✓ 正确:The balloon bulged with air.

错误在于缺少介词 with。bulge 作为动词表示“因...而凸起”时,需用介词 with 引出原因,如 bulge with air(因空气而膨胀)。

❌ 错误:His stomach is bulging because eating too much.
✓ 正确:His stomach is bulging because he ate too much.

错误在于 because 后直接跟动名词 eating,不符合英语语法。because 作为连词应引导完整从句,如 because he ate too much(因为他吃太多了)。

protrude 指物体部分突出或伸出表面,强调明显的外凸和延伸感,常用于较正式语境;bulge 更通用,可表示轻微或暂时的凸起,不一定突出很远。
