喜樂美語
  1. 1

    If something is repugnant, it is very unpleasant and offensive — so much that you want nothing to do with it. Ideas, behaviour, smells, and sights can all be repugnant. It is a strong, formal adjective. Saying a food is “a bit repugnant” would sound strange; the word is too heavy for mild dislike. News and essays use it for moral shock: cruelty, racism, a policy someone finds ugly in a deep way. The Latin pieces mean “fight against” — as if the thing itself pushes you to fight it off. Though actually, in daily English this is about feeling, not about a real fight.

    令人厭惡的、叫人反感的（語氣很重，不是「有點不喜歡」）
