To decorate or add extra details to something using a particular material, detail, or feature, often to make it more attractive.

用法与细微差别

Often used in both literal (decorate a physical object) and figurative (add details to a story) senses. Common with materials or features ('embellish with gold', 'embellish with flowers'). More formal in tone. Don't confuse with 'embellish' alone, which can mean exaggerate facts.
