give off + heat/light/smell/gas; give off + an air of + noun; give off a friendly/calm vibe

- The milk had been left out all day and was giving off a sour smell.
- Even on her first day, the new manager gave off an air of calm confidence.
修改原因
修改前This small heater gives off a lot of warm, so we rarely turn on the central heating.
修改后This small heater gives off a lot of heat, so we rarely turn on the central heating.
Warm 是形容词,不能直接放在 a lot of 后面。这里要说明散发的是什么,需要名词 heat 或 warmth。
Give off 和 give away 都能涉及从一个人身上察觉到的事,但意思不同。Give off 指传递的印象:She gives off an air of calm。Give away 则表示暴露了本来想隐藏的事:Her shaking hands gave away how nervous she was。

查看答案
giving off — 难闻的气味从垃圾桶散发出来,应选 give off:it was giving off a horrible smell。Give away 可以表示免费送出或泄露秘密,不能表达这里垃圾桶散发气味的动作。
描述一个因为气味而让你记住的地方,例如厨房、市场、森林或咖啡馆。说明气味来自什么,以及是什么味道。
In my grandmother's kitchen, the fresh bread on the table always gave off a sweet, warm smell.
