短释义
Garish comes to English from the Old Norse word gaurr, meaning “rough fellow.” It is often used to describe colors, clothing, decorations, and other things that can be elegant and tasteful. Because the word connotes bad taste, however, it is rarely used in a complimentary way. If you say to your friend, “I like your garish hair and makeup,” she is not likely to take it well, unless, of course, you are going to a 70s flashback party.
使用形容词 garish 来形容过于生动、明亮、浮夸和低俗的事物,比如 DJ 的花哨服装,让人回想起迪斯科时代。

Garish 源自古挪威语 gaurr,意思是“粗鲁的家伙”。常用来形容色彩、服饰、装饰品等高雅、有品位的事物。然而,因为这个词意味着低俗品味,所以很少以赞美的方式使用。如果你对你的朋友说:“我喜欢你花哨的头发和妆容”,她不太可能接受,当然,除非你要去参加 70 年代的闪回派对。
