Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：文学作品或书面叙述、描写脸色因尴尬、激动而变红、描写自然景物颜色变红 redden 多用于书面或较正式的叙述，语气比较文雅；日常口语中更常说 turn red 或 go red。它既可表示“变红”，也可表示“使变红”，使用时注意其偏书面的语体色彩。
Pronunciation & Spelling
hidden, ridden, and forbidden all contain the stressed sound /ɪdən/, so they rhyme with one another; none of them rhymes with redden /ˈrɛdən/. sadden /ˈsædən/, sudden /ˈsʌdən/, and trodden /ˈtrɒdən/ are spelling lookalikes with different vowels. redden’s stressed syllable has the /ɛ/ of 'bed', so its closest sound match is 'red' /rɛd/, not the -dden words listed here.
