- 1（喇叭、警報、音響）刺耳地大聲響；刺耳的大聲
When something blares, it makes a very loud, harsh, unpleasant noise — the kind that pushes into the room and is hard to ignore. Car horns blare, radios blare, blare. You can also call that noise a blare: the blare of trumpets, the blare of a television left on too loud. It is almost always about machines, horns, or big music, not a quiet human voice. A person can blare something out, but that still means they are , not speaking normally. The word carries a small complaint inside it: not just loud, but ugly-loud. Though actually, festival trumpets can blare without anyone being angry — the noise is still big and brassy. The verb is the older use; the noun comes from it. The sound of the word is part of the meaning: it copies a cry or a bleat.
組成The verb is from Late Middle English blaren, bleren, bloren, to bellow, cry, or wail; of a goat, to bleat. It probably comes from Old English, possibly from an old root meaning to bleat or cry, and it is ultimately a sound-copying word. Related to Middle Dutch blaren / bleren (modern Dutch blèren). The noun comes from the verb.
