Stark describes something plain, bare, and harsh-looking, with nothing extra or soft about it — like a stark, empty room with white walls and no decoration. It's also used for something very clear and impossible to miss, especially a difference, like 'a stark contrast' between two things that are very different from each other. It can describe a landscape too, like a 'stark desert,' meaning empty and a bit cold or lonely-feeling.
明顯的（對比）；荒涼的、單調的（景色）
