基本释意：
adjective
used of old persons or old trees; covered with knobs or knots
多瘤的；粗糙的；扭曲的；极好的；艰难的，危险的
同义词：
gnarled,knobbed,knotted,knotty
短释义：
“Gnarled and knotted” is the original meaning of this adjective, from the Middle English knar, “knob, knot, or mass.” Confusingly, though, it’s just as commonly used in two other (completely opposite) ways, to mean both “difficult” and “wonderful.” In the 1970s, North American surfers adopted gnarly into their slang to describe a huge, dangerous wave. Later it came to mean “awesome,” as in: “Listen to this gnarly guitar solo!”
粗糙的东西是扭曲的、多节的或弯曲的，就像一棵老苹果树的粗糙树枝或老人粗糙的手指。

“粗糙和打结”是这个形容词的原始含义，来自中古英语 knar，“旋钮、结或质量”。但令人困惑的是，它也常用于其他两种（完全相反）的方式，即表示“困难”和“美妙”。 20 世纪 70 年代，北美冲浪者在俚语中采用了“gnarly”来形容巨大、危险的海浪。后来它的意思是“棒极了”，比如：“听听这首粗糙的吉他独奏！”

Oft the satyr spirit, beauty-drunken, Of the Spring called; and the music-measure Of thy sap made answer; and thy sunken Veins grew vehement with youth, whose pressure Swelled thy gnarly muscles, winter-shrunken.
通常是森林之神，沉醉于美丽之中， 被称为春天；你的汁液的音乐节拍做出了回应；你凹陷的静脉因青春而变得激烈，它的压力使你粗糙的肌肉肿胀，冬天萎缩了。
—The Garden of Dreams by Cawein, Madison J.
