Wet in a soft, heavy, unpleasant way濕濕、軟軟、沉甸甸的，讓人不舒服的那種濕。 Something soggy某樣東西如果是 soggy has taken in water就是吸進了水 until it has lost the texture it should have一直到失去了原本該有的口感。

Bread that sat in soup, a paper bag carried home in the rain, cereal left in milk for ten minutes, socks after you stepped in a puddle, a garden after three days of rain — all soggy. The key is that the water has gone INSIDE and ruined the feel of the thing.

Bread that sat in soup泡在湯裡的麵包, a paper bag carried home in the rain淋雨提回家的紙袋, cereal left in milk for ten minutes泡在牛奶裡十分鐘的穀片, socks after you stepped in a puddle踩到水窪之後的襪子, a garden after three days of rain下了三天雨之後的花園 — all soggy通通都是 soggy。 The key關鍵在於 is that the water has gone INSIDE水跑進了東西裡面 and ruined the feel of the thing把原本的口感或觸感毀了。

A glass is wet but never soggy; water only sits on it. Toast can be soggy because water goes in and the crispness dies.

A glass杯子 is wet but never soggy是濕的，但絕不會是 soggy; water only sits on it因為水只是停留在表面。 Toast烤吐司 can be soggy可能會變得 soggy because water goes in因為水滲了進去 and the crispness dies把脆度毀了。

So 'soggy' is almost always a small complaint. It carries disappointment: this was supposed to be crisp, or dry, or firm, and now it is limp and heavy.

So所以 'soggy'「soggy」這個字 is almost always a small complaint幾乎都帶著一點小抱怨的味道。 It carries disappointment它帶著一種失望: this was supposed to be crisp, or dry, or firm本來應該是脆的、乾的，或紮實的, and now it is limp and heavy現在卻變得軟趴趴、沉甸甸的。

Food is where you hear it most, especially anything that should have been crunchy — chips, pastry, a sandwich, a pizza base. Ground is the next most common: a soggy field, a soggy lawn, soggy shoes after crossing it.

Food食物 is where you hear it most是你最常聽到這個字的地方, especially anything that should have been crunchy尤其是本來應該是脆的東西 — chips, pastry, a sandwich, a pizza base像洋芋片、酥皮點心、三明治，或披薩餅皮。 Ground地面 is the next most common是接下來最常見的: a soggy field濕軟的田地, a soggy lawn濕軟的草坪, soggy shoes after crossing it走過之後濕軟的鞋子。

It is an everyday word, not a formal one, and you will hear it from a five-year-old and a chef alike. People also stretch it a little to talk about weather ('a soggy weekend' = a rainy one that spoiled the plans) and, less often, about something dull or lifeless — 'a soggy ending to the film' — though that use is loose and you do not need it. Related to 'sodden' and 'waterlogged', but those are stronger and more serious; soggy is the mild, homely one.

It is an everyday word這是個日常用字, not a formal one而不是正式用字, and you will hear it無論是 from a five-year-old and a chef alike五歲小孩還是主廚都會這樣說。 People也 also stretch it a little會把它用得稍微更廣一點 to talk about weather來講天氣 ('a soggy weekend' = a rainy one that spoiled the plans)（「a soggy weekend」＝下雨打亂計畫的週末） and, less often而比較少見的, about something dull or lifeless用來講某樣無趣或沒生氣的東西 — 'a soggy ending to the film'像「a soggy ending to the film（電影的結尾軟弱無力）」 — though that use is loose and you do not need it不過這種用法比較鬆散，你不需要學。 Related to 'sodden' and 'waterlogged'跟 'sodden' 和 'waterlogged' 有關, but those are stronger and more serious但那兩個字更強烈、更嚴重; soggy is the mild, homely one而 soggy 是比較溫和、平易近人的那個。
