喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A small, cozy room in a house where someone relaxes, watches TV, or works on hobbies — a bit less formal than a living room. It also means the home of a wild animal, especially one that lives in a hole or cave, like a lion's den or a bear's den. And you'll sometimes hear "a den of thieves" or "a den of gamblers" — a place where bad or secret activity happens.

    (家中的)休閒室、書房；(動物的)巢穴
