Judging from a single translation, learning English is an endless process

There is a Chinese saying: \"The dark aspects I have experienced, such as cyberbullying and rampant abuse, have increased like mushrooms after rain.\" ” The translation for the cow seen is: . . . The darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming that I experienced had multiplied. The word “multiplied” is too common. But we all treated it as a noun, never thinking it could be used as a verb, right? Of course, it can also be translated with a noun:. . . The darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming I experienced grew like mushrooms after the rain. Using \"mushroom\" as a verb works here. But some people must be curious as to why mushrooms are used Why not: the darkness, cyberbullying, and slut-shaming that I experienced, like bamboo shoots in spring that grow after the rain? Why? Have you noticed that the sentences have become extremely wordy? This is because we are explaining in English something that is not part of their daily routine. So it’s hard to find a simple, readily available word. It’s difficult, and foreigners might not even understand it. So there is only one truth: foreigners rarely eat bamboo shoots! Changing it directly to mushroom is simple and intuitive. Used as a noun, the function of \"mushroom\" here is truly remarkable, comparable to the role of \"green\" in the phrase \"The spring breeze turns the southern bank of the river green\" from our classical Chinese literature. English really requires continuous accumulation.
