这一语境说的是锅里水烧开;billowing 只形容烟、云、布、浪等成团翻卷涌动,不能用于水沸腾,水烧开英语用 boil,汉语“翻腾”不能一律对应 billowing。
两者都可形容海浪,但 billowing 强调像巨浪般成团翻滚、鼓起并向外扩散,常用于烟、云、布和浪;surging 强调有力地向前或向上冲涌,常用于潮水、人群、情绪和电流。写烟云成团翻滚时用 billowing 更准;写人群或情绪涌动时用 surging,通常不用 billowing。
两者都可译作“翻腾的”,但 churning 强调剧烈搅动、混合,常带浑浊或泡沫,可用于水、胃和情绪;billowing 强调成团鼓起、翻滚并向外铺展,多用于烟、云、帆和浪。写螺旋桨后激烈搅动的水用 churning;写烟云一团团涌出用 billowing。
两者都可描述波浪,但 rolling 泛指平稳地起伏、翻滚或转动,适用范围很广,也可用于山丘、雷声和波浪;billowing 特指大团鼓起、翻卷并向外扩散的样子。写柔缓起伏的浪可用 rolling;要突出烟云或帆布成团膨胀翻卷时用 billowing。
