• brilliant

  Stresses extreme, almost dazzling intensity; stronger than bright and typically used for light, gems, or striking contrasts rather than ordinary colors.

  灿烂的白雪在正午的阳光下几乎让人睁不开眼。

• vivid 本词

  Emphasizes a color's clarity and distinctness, often making it memorable or striking against its surroundings, rather than raw physical brightness.

Bright, vibrant, brilliant, and vivid can all describe strong, colorful light, but differ in strength and use. Bright is the plain, neutral word. Vibrant adds energy and liveliness. Brilliant stresses extreme, dazzling intensity. Vivid emphasizes a color's striking clarity. Other senses are not compared here.

这四个词都可以形容颜色或光线强烈、鲜艳，但语气强弱和常见搭配不同；这里不比较bright表示“聪明的”（如bright student）的义项、brilliant表示“杰出的，才华横溢的”（如brilliant idea）的义项，以及vivid表示“（描写、想象）生动的”的义项。
