短释义：
Slovenly has meant messy or unkempt since the 1500s, but it had a brief heyday before that of meaning “low or base.” This class association remains embedded in the word — someone who uses the word slovenly today is most likely also going to raise his or her pinky while drinking from a cup of tea.
如果你不打领带来喝下午茶，你的曾祖母梅希塔贝尔可能会称你为“不修边幅”。它的意思是“凌乱或蓬乱”，但你可能不会听到凌乱或蓬乱的人使用这个词。
长释义：
Slovenly has meant messy or unkempt since the 1500s, but it had a brief heyday before that of meaning “low or base.” This class association remains embedded in the word — someone who uses the word slovenly today is most likely also going to raise his or her pinky while drinking from a cup of tea.
自 1500 年代以来，Slovenly 就意味着凌乱或蓬头垢面，但在意思是“低下或卑鄙”之前，它有过一段短暂的全盛时期。这种阶级关联仍然根植于这个词中——今天不修边幅地使用这个词的人很可能也会在喝茶时举起他或她的小指。

—The Great Fire by Jim Murphy
They tended to be stolid, slovenly, heavy, and to my eyes effeminate—not in the sense of delicacy, etc., but in just the opposite sense: a gross, bland fleshiness, a bovinity without point or edge.
它们往往是冷漠的、邋遢的、笨重的，在我看来是女性化的——不是在精致等意义上，而是在相反的意义上：一种粗俗、平淡的肉体，一种没有点或边缘的牛气。
—The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
Because they weren’t building a new radio format or otherwise engaging with the mainstream, each moved in the directions that felt authentic to it, toward pop clarity or progressive twiddle or slovenly roaring.
因为他们并没有建立一种新的广播格式，也没有以其他方式融入主流，所以他们都朝着自己感觉真实的方向发展，走向流行的清晰、进步的旋转或不修边幅的咆哮。
