1. 1

    Funk has a couple of common, unrelated meanings. As a mood word, being 'in a funk' means feeling low, gloomy, or stuck — a mild kind of depressed, unmotivated state, often used casually ('I've been in a funk since the rain started'). Funk is also a genre of music that grew out of soul and jazz, built around a strong, bass line and groove — think of artists who make you want to move even before you notice the lyrics. The related adjective 'funky' can mean either 'smelling bad' or, quite differently, 'stylish and a bit unusual' in a cool way — context tells you which one is meant.

    情緒低落(口語);放克(音樂類型)
