- 1荒謬的、離譜的
Something ludicrous is so unreasonable, silly, or wrong that you almost laugh — or you would, if you were not . A ludicrous excuse, a ludicrous price, a ludicrous claim. It is stronger than silly and a little more grown-up than stupid: you are saying the thing fails a basic test of sense. People use it in argument (“That’s ludicrous”) and in reviews. It is not a children’s-game word, even though it sits near ; in English it does not mean “playful.” It can describe an idea, a situation, or a suggestion, not usually a person’s whole character (you would more often say a person is being ludicrous right now).
From the word’s history

借自拉丁文 lūdicrus。
