Gloomy describes a place, the weather, or a mood that feels dark and a little sad or hopeless. A gloomy sky is heavy with grey clouds, about to rain. A gloomy room has poor lighting and feels a bit depressing to be in. A gloomy person, or a gloomy mood, feels sad, low, and without much hope that things will get better soon. It's a soft, everyday word — not extreme like 'depressed', but clearly more negative than just 'a bit sad'.
陰暗的(天氣、房間);憂鬱、沒有希望的(心情)
