喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A slugfest is a noisy, rough clash — not a clever debate, but people hitting hard or shouting hard. The first picture is boxing: two fighters just punching, with little fancy movement. People then stretch it to any messy fight of that kind: a rude, angry argument, a bitter political row, even a sports game where both sides keep scoring and nobody is playing it pretty. It is informal, originally American. Slug here means 'to hit very hard,' and -fest is a playful ending that means 'a lot of that thing happening,' like a festival of hits.

    激烈對打；罵戰（口語，原為美式）
