短释义
The word hovel was used in the fifteenth century to describe a shed used for animals, and by the seventeenth century the word had taken on its current usage as a way to describe a crude human dwelling — though the connotation of a messiness associated with animals still remains. The word can be used literally to describe something that is a ramshackle shack, but you’ll also hear it used with wry humor to describe a person’s modest living quarters: “Well, I’m off to my hovel to get some sleep.”
霍夫尔是一个小棚子或居住,经常凌乱,狭窄和粗糙,例如在难民营中的庇护所,或者如果您有太多东西,并且没有足够的时间来清洁。

Hovel这个词在15世纪被用来描述用于动物的棚屋,到了十七世纪,该词已经采用了目前的用法来描述一种粗糙的人类住宅,尽管与动物相关的混乱的含义仍然存在。这个词实际上可以用来描述摇摇欲坠的棚屋,但您还会听到它用幽默来描述一个人的谦虚生活区:“好吧,我要去霍夫尔去睡觉。”
