喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Funereal means sad, slow, and heavy in a way that feels right for a funeral — a funereal silence, a funereal pace, funereal music. You are not naming the funeral itself; you are borrowing the mood. You see it in newspapers and stories more than in speech. Though actually, it can sound a little old or ; in talk people more often say “like a funeral” or “very gloomy.” You can use it when nobody has died: a meeting can feel funereal. Do not mix it with funerary: funereal is the feeling; funerary is the objects and rites.

    像喪禮般陰鬱的（指氣氛沉悶緩慢，不是「喪葬用的」。）
