释义 | appearance (once / 50 pages) n Your appearance is how you look: your clothes, hair, facial expression, skin tone, and posture all factor into your overall appearance. Ever had to go somewhere you didn't want to go? If you stopped by just briefly, you made an appearance. But this word more often has to do with how things look. Your appearance is created by everything people can see, from your hair down to your shoes. Sometimes appearances can be deceiving: maybe you give an appearance of confidence, but you're really nervous inside. The saying "don't judge a book by its cover" means "don't judge by appearances."
