脸色

The Chinese word 脸色 (liǎnsè) is composed of two characters: 脸 (liǎn), meaning "face", and 色 (sè), meaning "color". Together, they literally mean "face color" and refer to the appearance or complexion of a person's face. The word 脸色 can be used to describe someone's overall health, mood, or emotional state. For example, a person with a healthy complexion might be described as having a "good 脸色", while someone who is sick or upset might be described as having a "bad 脸色". The word 脸色 can also be used figuratively to refer to someone's reputation or social standing. For example, someone who is respected and admired might be described as having a "bright 脸色", while someone who is disgraced or shamed might be described as having a "dark 脸色".
