A gust is a sudden, strong rush of wind that comes quickly and then dies down again, instead of blowing steadily. You'll hear it in weather reports ("gusts up to 60 km/h") and also used for sudden strong feelings, like a gust of laughter or a gust of anger, where an emotion suddenly bursts out.
一陣強風;(情緒)突然湧現
