脫穎而出:指錐尖透過布袋顯(xian)露(lu)出(chu)來,現比喻人的本領全部露(lu)出(chu)。穎:尖子。
出(chu)自《史記·平原君虞卿列傳(chuan)》:“使遂早得處囊中,乃穎脫而(er)出(chu),非特其(qi)末見(jian)而(er)已(yi)。”
出自宋·蘇軾《與參寥》:“吳子野至(zhi);出穎(ying)沙彌行草書;瀟然有塵(chen)外意(yi);決知不日脫穎(ying)而出;不可復沒矣(yi)。”
脫(tuo)穎而出(chu),偏正(zheng)式(shi);作(zuo)謂語、賓語、定(ding)語;含褒義。
近義詞:嶄露頭角、鋒芒(mang)畢(bi)露。
反義詞:懷(huai)才不遇、深藏若虛。
脫穎而(er)出(chu)和“鋒芒(mang)(mang)畢露(lu)”都可形容人才能全部暴露(lu)。脫穎而(er)出(chu)偏重于“出(chu)”;即(ji)顯(xian)露(lu);指原來顯(xian)得并(bing)不突出(chu);被重用之后(hou);才顯(xian)露(lu)才能;而(er)“鋒芒(mang)(mang)畢露(lu)”偏重于“畢露(lu)”;即(ji)才能完全顯(xian)露(lu)。
