1. 1

    Fug is the heavy, stale air inside a room that has been shut too long — from smoke, heat, breath, or too many bodies. You can almost feel it on your face. It is mainly a British word. An American is more likely to say stuffy, stale, or “the air is bad in here.” People talk about a fug of smoke, or the fug of a crowded pub. There is a verb, to fug a room up, meaning to make the air like that, but the noun is the one you will meet. It is informal, a little old-fashioned, not rude. Though actually, it is not the same as fog: fog is weather outside; fug sits in a room.

    悶濁的空氣;煙霧瀰漫的悶氣(偏英式。不是外面的霧。)
