短释义：
Have you ever been called a Gloomy Gus? If so, you must have been acting depressed or sulky. But you aren’t the first to be called that — after all, Gloomy Gus was a comic book character who first appeared in 1904. By the 1940s, this nickname caught on, describing — and possibly adding to the misery — of those who are less happy-seeming than the people around them.
Gloomy 的意思是“黑暗而沉闷”。阴天，一首失恋的悲伤歌曲，球队输掉一场大比赛后的低落心情——这一切都可以称得上是灰暗。

下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
gloomy (adj.)1580s，可能源自 gloomy (n.)，尽管这个词没有早于这个词得到证实。莎士比亚用它来形容树林，马洛则用它来形容人。阴郁有物理阴暗或黑暗的比喻暗示：阴郁的人在他的头脑中几乎没有光明，或者他看不到前方的光明。 [世纪词典] Gloomy Gus自1902年以来一直被用于一般意义上的“闷闷不乐的人”，这是美国插画家弗雷德里克·伯尔·奥珀（Frederick Burr Opper）当时介绍的一个悲观和失败主义报纸漫画人物的名字。相关： 忧郁;忧郁。相关条目及更多
