Unsightly is mostly about surfaces and surroundings rather than about people's faces: an unsightly stain on the carpet, unsightly rubbish behind the shops, unsightly wires across the ceiling, unsightly scaffolding on a beautiful old building.

Unsightly這個字 is mostly about主要用在 surfaces and surroundings表面和環境 rather than而不是 about people's faces人的臉上：an unsightly stain on the carpet地毯上難看的污漬、unsightly rubbish behind the shops店家後面難看的垃圾、unsightly wires across the ceiling天花板上難看的電線、unsightly scaffolding on a beautiful old building漂亮老建築上難看的鷹架。

There is a small complaint built into it. When someone says 'those bins are unsightly', they are not just describing; they are saying somebody should move them.

There is a small complaint built into it一點小抱怨藏在裡面。When someone says當有人說 'those bins are unsightly'『那些垃圾桶很難看』, they are not just describing他們不只是在描述; they are saying他們是在說 somebody should move them應該有人把它們搬走。

That is why the word lives in the language of neighbours, city councils, landlords, and — very heavily — advertising: skin creams and clinics love to talk about 'unsightly spots', 'unsightly hair', 'unsightly veins', because the word makes an ordinary body thing sound like a problem you should pay to remove. Knowing that helps you read those ads.

That is why這就是為什麼 the word這個字 lives in出現在 the language of neighbours, city councils, landlords鄰居、市議會、房東的用語裡, and — very heavily — advertising而且大量出現在廣告裡：skin creams and clinics保養品和診所 love to talk about很愛講 'unsightly spots'『難看的斑』, 'unsightly hair'『難看的體毛』, 'unsightly veins'『難看的血管』, because the word因為這個字 makes an ordinary body thing sound like a problem you should pay to remove會把普通的身體現象講得像是要花錢處理的問題. Knowing that知道這一點 helps you read those ads能幫你看懂那些廣告。

It is formal and mildly old-fashioned; in normal conversation you would just say 'ugly' or 'it looks awful'. It is an adjective only — there is no verb, and the adverb form barely exists.

It is它是 formal and mildly old-fashioned正式又有點過時的說法；in normal conversation在一般對話裡 you would just say你就直接說 'ugly'『ugly』 or 'it looks awful'或『it looks awful』就好. It is它 an adjective only只是形容詞 — there is no verb沒有動詞形式, and the adverb form barely exists副詞形式也幾乎不存在。
