花开得正盛叫 bloom，人也容光焕发、事业兴旺也叫 bloom——记住“花”和“旺”共用同一个词。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：gardening/plants、personal health/appearance、business/economy bloom 作动词时，最常用作不及物动词，表示植物开花，或比喻人、事业等蓬勃发展和焕发活力。语气通常为中性，在一般描写和书面语中都比较自然；多用于自然或积极发展的语境。另有少数专业用法（如咖啡、巧克力、烹饪），含义较专门，但日常学习以本文核心含义为主。
Grammar Note
既可作及物动词（使茂盛，把…轧成钢坯）也可作不及物动词（开花，焕发青春，茂盛）
Pronunciation & Spelling
以上单词都与 bloom /bluːm/ 押韵（重读元音 /uː/ + /m/）。注意：flood、blood 虽也含“oo”，但发音为 /ʌ/，与 bloom 不押韵。
