To evince a feeling or a quality is to show it so clearly that other people can notice it — you do not have to announce it; it comes through in your face, your letter, or the way you act. A smile can evince relief; a report can evince care. It is a formal, slightly old-fashioned verb, much more at home in writing than in speech. Everyday English almost always prefers show, reveal, or display. Though actually, the Latin behind it meant something closer to “conquer completely / prove exhaustively,” so a faint “this proves it by showing it” flavour is still in the word. It is a of : same Latin , quite different meaning now. Nobody “evinces” a tenant from a flat.
顯露;流露出(偏書面)
