Vile means extremely unpleasant or disgusting - it can describe a terrible taste or smell, or it can describe a person's behavior when it's cruel and morally wrong. It's a strong word, stronger than just "bad" - calling something vile means it makes you feel real disgust.
惡劣的、令人作嘔的。
組成From Latin "vilis" (cheap, of low value) - the meaning shifted over time from "worthless" to "morally low" to "disgusting."
