- 1俗麗、花俏刺眼（不是單純的「鮮豔」，而是鮮豔到俗氣、難看）
Garish means coloured so that it is unpleasant to look at — loud, cheap, a bit of a shock to the eye. A shop painted neon pink and lime, a jacket with too many clashing colours, makeup that looks painted on under harsh light: those can be garish. Bright is not always a problem; sunshine yellow can be cheerful. Garish is the moment brightness tips into “too much,” and the speaker usually sounds a little superior for saying so. You hear it about clothes, signs, hotel lobbies, and film sets. It is not a kind word, but it is a useful complaint. Formal writing uses it; so does everyday grumbling.
組成Origin unknown. It may come from an old word gawren, “to stare,” perhaps from Old Norse, but nobody is sure — so treat that as a guess, not a fact.
