落叶落泪洒热血，脱发蜕皮发出光——shed作动词时，到底表达了什么意思？

shed作动词时，表示的是当事人或者描述者放任其发生的流淌或照射：

Why do we "shed" blood, sweat or tears but not other things?

然后从这个概念引申出了毛发和皮肤的自然脱落的意思。

 

具体来说，可以这样使用：

树叶自然脱落：

Trees shed their leaves in autumn

泪水滑落：

She shed tears of joy at the wedding

流血（牺牲）：

When Adam and Eve sinned, God shed innocent blood in order to make their clothes from animal skins (Genesis 3:21).

头发自然脱落：

Hair Shedding and Hair Loss Aren't the Same—Here's How to Tell the Difference

蜕皮：

The snake sheds its skin regularly as it grows

发光：

The lamp sheds a warm light in the room
