    A lecherous man shows that he wants women sexually in a way that feels ugly, greedy, and unwelcome — a look that stays too long, a smile that is not kind, talk that makes the other person want to step back.

    A lecherous man一個lecherous的男人 shows that he wants women sexually流露出他對女人有性方面的渴望 in a way that feels ugly, greedy, and unwelcome而且是讓人覺得噁心、貪婪、不受歡迎的那種方式 — a look that stays too long像是盯著看太久的眼神, a smile that is not kind不懷好意的笑容, talk that makes the other person want to step back讓對方想退後一步的言語。

    It is a strongly negative word, a little old and literary now, and you meet it more in books, films, and careful complaint than in casual chat. It almost always describes a man, or a man's look, grin, or manner; using it of a woman is possible but rare.

    It is a strongly negative word它是個強烈負面的詞, a little old and literary now現在有點老派、文學味, and you meet it more in books, films, and careful complaint你比較會在書、電影,還有正式的抱怨裡看到它 than in casual chat而不是在隨口聊天裡。 It almost always describes a man它幾乎都是用來形容男人, or a man's look, grin, or manner或男人的眼神、笑容、舉止; using it of a woman is possible but rare用在女人身上也不是不行,但很少見。

    It is not a playful way to say someone finds another person attractive. It says the desire is shown, and shown badly.

    It is not a playful way to say someone finds another person attractive它不是在開玩笑地說某人覺得另一個人有魅力。 It says the desire is shown它是在說這份慾望被表現出來了, and shown badly而且表現得很難看。

    People may still joke with it, but the joke sits on a nasty meaning; in real life it is an accusation.

    People may still joke with it大家還是可能拿它開玩笑, but the joke sits on a nasty meaning但這個玩笑建立在一個難聽的意思上; in real life it is an accusation在現實生活裡,這是一種指控。

    看看訂閱內容

組成lecher(舊詞,指貪戀女色的男人)+ -ous(充滿這種性質的)。更早來自古法語,說的是貪吃、貪慾;再往上可以接到一個也演成 lick(舔)的日耳曼根。今天英語裡 lecherous 只剩下「令人討厭的好色」,沒有「舔」的意思。

    • Adam was a perfectly satisfactory dinner companion, if not a bit damp and blandly lecherous (he revealed he had looked at my Instagram before we met and “really liked the photos of me in a bathing suit.”) And now, standing on the street corner, it was unclear how I was going to walk away from this without an awkward shutdown.
