1. 1

    With no sunshine — used for a place or a stretch of time where the sun does not reach or does not come out: a sunless room at the back of a building, a sunless week of rain, a sunless winter afternoon. It is a slightly literary word, more common in writing than in speech; in conversation people say "there's no sun" or "it's grey". It usually carries a mood with it — cold, dull, a bit depressing — so writers reach for it when they want that feeling. One modern exception runs the other way: "sunless tanning" is the advertising term for creams and sprays that brown your skin without sun, and there the word is neutral and technical.

    沒有陽光的、照不到太陽的(文學色彩,帶點陰暗沉悶的感覺)

組成sun + -less, the ending meaning "without". The -less ending goes back to Old English -lēas, from a root meaning loose or free of something — the same idea as "free of", not the "less" that means smaller amount.
