喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Horrid is an old-fashioned way to say something is very unpleasant, nasty, or — but it is weaker than it sounds. It does not usually mean truly , the way "horrifying" does; it just means "not nice at all." You will hear it more from older British speakers, or in older children's books ("what a horrid smell!", "don't be horrid to your sister"). Younger speakers today are more likely to say "awful" or "nasty."

    討厭的;可怕的（語氣較舊式）
