If a star is moving away from you, the emission lines in its spectrum will be shifted
toward longer wavelengths/lower frequency/the red end of the spectrum, since they
originate on the star itself.
But there's no effect on the absorption lines, because those are caused by material
that's unrelated to the star, and just happens to be in the line of sight between the
star and you.
