1. 1睡眼惺忪的、視線模糊的。常說 bleary-eyed

    If your eyes are bleary, they cannot see very clearly. You are tired, you have just woken up, or you have been crying, so the eyes look watery, heavy, and a little red, and what you look at is not sharp. The pairing you will meet again and again is bleary-eyed: a bleary-eyed student at seven in the morning. You can also say a bleary look or bleary vision. Though actually, people stretch it off the face a little — a bleary morning is a morning that feels like those eyes. It is descriptive, not slang, and not a medical term. It does not by itself mean drunk, even if a tired, hung-over face can look bleary too.

組成From Middle English blery, from blear + -y(帶有那種性質)。Older English had blear for dim, watery eyes. An old English word that looks similar meant “bald”; that is only a comparison, not what bleary means now.
