To galumph is to move in a heavy, noisy, way — as if your feet are a little too big for the room. The word is not serious. Lewis Carroll first wrote galumphing in his poem Jabberwocky, and later English made the verb galumph from that. Today it often has a comic picture: someone crashing about, not trying to be . You might galumph down the in boots, or a big dog might galumph across the garden. You would not use it in a science report, and it is not a rude word — just a bit silly and fond.
笨重地走、腳步又重又響地走(帶一點滑稽)
組成Lewis Carroll wrote galumphing in his poem Jabberwocky. English later pulled the verb galumph out of that word.
