How it's used
Describes the sudden or profuse appearance of sweat, often due to physical exertion, heat, or nervousness. Unlike the more neutral term 出汗, 標汗 carries a sense of intensity or immediacy, as if the sweat is bursting out from the pores. It is frequently used to describe someone who is visibly drenched or struggling in a hot environment.
Examples
The weather is so hot, I'm sweating just from walking a few steps.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not use this to describe the natural, mild perspiration that occurs during light activity. It specifically implies a noticeable, often excessive, amount of sweat.
