Trashy means very bad, cheap, and worth nothing. It has two flavours that often overlap.

Trashy這個詞 means意思是 very bad, cheap, and worth nothing很爛、很廉價、一文不值。It它 has有 two flavours兩種味道 that often overlap常常重疊在一起。

The first is quality: trashy furniture breaks, a trashy phone case cracks in a week, trashy writing is lazy.

The first第一種 is是 quality品質上的：trashy furniture很爛的家具 breaks會壞，a trashy phone case很爛的手機殼 cracks in a week一星期就裂了，trashy writing很爛的寫作 is lazy就是偷懶。

The second is taste: a trashy magazine full of gossip, a trashy film with silly plots and lots of shouting, trashy clothes that look cheap and try too hard. This second flavour is where the word gets interesting, because English speakers often say 'trashy' about things they enjoy. 'It's a trashy novel but I love it.' 'We watched a trashy movie and ate ice cream.' The word admits the thing is low quality while confessing you like it anyway — that is a real and common use, not a mistake.

The second第二種 is是 taste品味上的：a trashy magazine一本很低俗的雜誌 full of gossip滿是八卦、a trashy film一部很低俗的電影 with silly plots and lots of shouting情節很蠢又一直大吼大叫的、trashy clothes很低俗的衣服 that look cheap and try too hard看起來很廉價又太用力。This second flavour這第二種味道 is where the word gets interesting就是這個詞有趣的地方，because因為 English speakers often say英文使用者常常會說 'trashy'「trashy」 about things they enjoy來形容他們其實很喜歡的東西。'It's a trashy novel but I love it.'「這是本很低俗的小說，但我愛死了」。'We watched a trashy movie and ate ice cream.'「我們看了一部很低俗的電影，還吃了冰淇淋」。The word這個詞 admits承認 the thing is low quality那個東西很低劣 while confessing同時坦承 you like it anyway你還是喜歡它 — that這 is a real and common use是真實而常見的用法，not a mistake不是用錯了。

But be careful with people. Calling a person trashy is a serious insult about their behaviour, their class, and their morals, and it is not affectionate at all. In the United States 'white trash' is a strong class slur, and 'trashy' carries some of that weight when aimed at a person.

But不過 be careful with people對人要小心用。Calling a person trashy說一個人trashy about their behaviour, their class, and their morals針對他的行為、階級、和品德， is是 a serious insult一種很嚴重的羞辱，and而 it它 is not affectionate at all一點也不帶感情、不友善。In the United States在美國 'white trash'「white trash」 is是 a strong class slur一個很重的階級歧視語，and而 'trashy'「trashy」 carries some of that weight也帶著一部分那種份量 when aimed at a person當用在一個人身上時。

Use it for things, not people.

Use it用它 for things指東西就好，not people不要用在人身上。
