break open suddenly from pressure
To open or break suddenly and loudly, often because there is too much air, water, or something else inside.

[something] bursts
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say "bursted" as the past tense. The correct forms are: present "burst", past "burst", and past participle "burst" (for example, "Yesterday the balloon burst"). Learners may also confuse "burst" and "explode"; "burst" is more common for small things like balloons, pipes, or bags.
近义词
explode (Usually stronger, louder, and used for serious events like bombs or big accidents.)
反义词
remain intact (Emphasizes that something does not break or open at all.)

suddenly start showing something
To suddenly start to do or show something very strongly, like crying, laughing, or burning.
用法模式：
[someone/something] bursts into [noun]
常见错误：
Learners often confuse "burst into" with "burst in". Use "burst into" followed by a noun to show a sudden emotion or action ("burst into tears", "burst into laughter"), and "burst out" followed by -ing for some actions ("burst out laughing"). Saying *"burst in tears" or *"burst to tears" is incorrect.
近义词
suddenly begin (More general and less vivid; does not carry the idea of strong emotion or force.)
反义词
gradually develop (Shows something starting slowly over time, not suddenly and strongly.)

short sudden period of activity
A short time when something happens very strongly or quickly, like energy, noise, or activity.
用法模式：
a burst of [noun]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *"a short burst of time" when they mean "a short period of time". Use "burst" with things that can be strong or intense for a moment, like energy, speed, noise, or activity, not with the word "time" itself.
近义词
outburst (Often used more specifically for sudden strong emotions, especially anger, rather than for speed or physical activity.)
反义词
steady flow (Suggests something continues at a constant, even rate, not in short, sudden periods.)

enter or leave suddenly and forcefully
To go into, out of, or through a place very fast and suddenly, often with noise or surprise.
用法模式：
[someone/something] bursts into/out of [a place]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "burst into" (to enter a place suddenly) with "burst into" + noun (to suddenly start an action, like "burst into tears"). The meaning depends on what follows: a place (room, office) shows movement, while a noun like "tears" or "laughter" shows an emotional or activity start.
近义词
rush (Focuses on speed, but does not always suggest the same level of sudden force or surprise.)
反义词
creep (Means to move very slowly and quietly, the opposite of sudden and forceful movement.)

用法模式：

make something break open
To make something open or break suddenly, for example by pushing it or putting too much air or water inside.
用法模式：
[someone] bursts [something]
常见错误：
Learners may overuse "explode" instead of "burst" for small objects. For simple things like balloons, bubbles, or bags, "burst" or "pop" is more natural. Also remember that the past tense is "burst", not *"bursted".
近义词
pop (Common in informal English for making small things like balloons or bubbles burst, and sounds a little lighter and more playful.)
反义词
inflate (Means to fill something with air; in some contexts it is the opposite action that can lead to bursting if overdone.)
