喜樂美語
  1. 1刺耳地；讓人聽了不舒服地

    A sound that happens gratingly is hard, rough, and unpleasant — metal on metal, or a chair pulled across a floor. People also stretch it: a voice, a laugh, or a smile can be gratingly loud or gratingly cheerful. Then you do not mean a tool ; you mean the sound or the manner rubs you the wrong way. It is a critical word, not a compliment.

組成grating（刺耳的、刮擦般的）+ -ly（以那種方式）
