As an English teacher, I would explain the word ‘glaze’ in the following four aspects:
1. Definition: ‘Glaze’ refers to a smooth, glossy, and often gl-like coating applied to a suce, typically pottery, ceramics, or baked goods, to make them waterproof, durable, and decorative.
2. Usage: ‘Glaze’ can be used as a noun and a verb. As a noun, it refers to the coating or the substance used to create the coating. As a verb, it means to apply or add a glaze to something.
3. Types: There are different types of glazes, such as clear glaze, colored glaze, matte glaze, glossy glaze, crackle glaze, and so on. Each type has its own characteristics and effects.
4. Techniques: Glazing is an art that requires skill and creativity. Different techniques can be used to create different effects, such as brushing, spraying, pouring, or dipping. Moreover, glazing can be combined with other techniques, such as carving, etching, or painting, to enhance the visual appeal and texture of the suce.
Here are five examples of how ‘glaze’ is used in both English and Chinese:
1. The pottery is finished with a clear glaze to make it shine and resist water. 这个陶器用一层清亮的釉料做了抛光，能使它闪闪发光、防水防潮。
2. The baker applied a thick layer of chocolate glaze on top of the cake to make it look luxurious and delicious. 面包师在蛋糕上抹了一层厚厚的巧克力糖霜，让它看上去奢华而美味。
3. The artist used a crackle glaze technique to create a unique texture on the suce of the vase. 这个艺术家用了裂纹釉技巧，在花瓶的表面创造了独特的质感。
4. The carpenter used a glaze to protect the wooden furniture from moisture and insects. 木匠用了一层油漆来保护木制家具免受潮湿和虫害。
5. The chef glazed the ham with honey and mus to give it a sweet and tangy flavor. 厨师用蜜糖和芥末给火腿上了一层酱汁，让它具有甜味和酸辣味。
glaze的中文翻译：n. (1)釉；(2)光泽面；(3)透明的表层；v. 上釉，给…涂上光泽面；(2)使变得冷漠，长时间注视
读音：[ɡleɪz]
