    A man who is hunky is sexually attractive and has a big, strong body — broad shoulders, solid arms, the look of someone who could lift heavy things. It is informal and a little cheeky: friends, magazines, and films use it; a school essay usually should not. It is almost always about men.

    A man who is hunky is sexually attractive and has a big, strong body一個hunky的男人性感迷人,而且有強壯結實的身材 — broad shoulders, solid arms, the look of someone who could lift heavy things寬肩膀、結實的手臂,看起來就能扛重物的樣子。It is informal and a little cheeky這個字是口語、也有點俏皮: friends, magazines, and films use it朋友聊天、雜誌、電影裡都會用; a school essay usually should not但學校作文通常不該用。It is almost always about men這幾乎只用來形容男生。

    Calling a woman hunky sounds odd to most speakers. That sense is simply hunk (a solid piece, then a solid-looking man) plus -y.

    Calling a woman hunky sounds odd to most speakers對大多數人來說,用hunky形容女生聽起來很怪。That sense is simply hunk (a solid piece, then a solid-looking man) plus -y這個意思其實就是hunk(一大塊,後來引申指身材結實的男人)加上字尾-y。

    The word has other lives that do not belong in the same sentence. There is an older American noun, often : a Hungarian person, or more loosely an immigrant labourer from eastern Europe. That one probably comes from Hungarian plus a small -y ending; people compare it with bohunk and with honky / honkey. You may meet it in old writing, but you should not copy it.

    The word has other lives that do not belong in the same sentence這個字還有其他跟這個意思完全不相干的用法。There is an older American noun, often unkind有一個較舊的美式名詞用法,通常帶貶意: a Hungarian person, or more loosely an immigrant labourer from eastern Europe指匈牙利人,或更籠統地指來自東歐的移工。That one probably comes from Hungarian plus a small -y ending這個用法可能來自Hungarian(匈牙利)加上小小的字尾-y; people compare it with bohunk and with honky / honkey人們會拿它跟bohunk、honky/honkey相提並論。You may meet it in old writing你可能會在舊文章裡遇到它, but you should not copy it但你不該學著用。

    Older American slang also used hunky to mean “fine, all right,” in the same neighbourhood as , though you will rarely hear that on its own now.

    Older American slang also used hunky to mean "fine, all right,"較舊的美式俚語也用hunky表示「還不錯、沒問題」 in the same neighbourhood as hunky-dory跟hunky-dory是同一掛的用法, though you will rarely hear that on its own now雖然現在很少單獨聽到這個用法了。
