1. 1

    Soft and , or looking that way. It comes from the thick wool on a sheep, so the word carries warmth, thickness and a slightly fluffy surface. It is used two ways. First, about real material: a fleecy jacket, fleecy socks, a fleecy lining inside a coat — soft on the inside, warm to wear. Second, about things that only look : fleecy clouds, a fleecy sky. This second use is common in poems and descriptions and is one of the oldest pictures in English writing — white clouds sitting in a blue sky do look like sheep in a field. Note that 'fleece' as a noun is also the name of the modern jacket itself ('put your fleece on'), so students meet both words. 'Fleecy' is the adjective — it describes the feel, not the object.

    毛茸茸的、絨毛的(刷毛材質的衣服;也形容雲朵像羊毛一樣蓬鬆)

    • Her path was on the briny deep; Yet no white sail propell'd her course, Nor measured oar with graceful sweep Urged her to stem the billow's force; Self-moved, with fleecy track she past, Disdaining in her pride To woo the breeze or shun the blast, Or wait the rolling tide;...
    • {...} turning to take a last glance into the valley, whence a light mist mounted and formed a fleecy cloud on the skirts of the blue.
