用法筆記

Predicative use is most common (`be / look / become flushed`); attributive `a flushed face / flushed cheeks` is also frequent. Often paired with a cause via `with` (`flushed with fever / pride / anger`) or `from` (`flushed from running`).

常見錯誤

Her face is very flushed after exercise.
the adjective is `flushed`, not `flush`; `flush` as an adjective means level/even, not red-faced.

use `with` for the emotion or condition causing the redness, not `of`.
