Clownish means silly, , or foolish in a way that makes you think of a clown — big gestures, a joke that goes too far, a face or walk that looks comic. Sometimes people are clownish on purpose, to make others laugh. Often the word has a little bite: you are saying the person is not serious, or they look stupid, or the humour is cheap. It describes manner and behaviour, not a job. A real circus clown is a clown; a who pulls faces in a lesson is being clownish. It is not a kind label if you stick it on a person.
像小丑的、滑稽可笑的、傻裡傻氣的（常帶一點不以為然）
