用法与细微差别
Most often used for wind ('a gust of wind'). Can be used figuratively for strong sudden emotions ('a gust of laughter') but this is less common. Formality is neutral; rarely used outside weather or poetic contexts. Often paired as 'gust of [something]'. Not to be confused with 'breeze' (gentle wind).
