短释义
Tattered often applies to clothes. If you’re a nice guy, you might give your coat to the homeless man with the coat that’s so tattered it’s threadbare and see-through. You can also use tattered figuratively, for something that’s in shambles, like the tattered reputation you would have if you embezzled from your grandmother. The word tattered comes from Middle English, from a time when people wore clothing with decorative slashes, and apparently tatter originally meant “a scrap of cloth.”
如果某样东西破烂了,那就是破烂不堪。如果你的裙子在过去 100 英里里一直拖在车底下,你就会明白了。这将是一个破烂不堪的烂摊子。
