Question

implode v.内爆；向内聚爆；崩溃，瓦解 (1) 请容许我重申我的意见，中国是不会倒塌或内爆的。 Why bother to have a word like implode when you already have explode? Well, imagine there is something deep beneath the sea, being subjected to the intense pressure there. If the pressure is high enough that the object bursts, it would collapse in rather than out. It would, in fact, implode. People also sometimes use implode to describe a person subjected to intense pressures who, emotionally at least, bursts inward: "All that stress just made Jess implode."
