Grey, overcast and dull all suggest that the whole sky is covered with clouds, so that you cannot see the blue sky behind. If it is cloudy, there may be a lot of clouds while the rest of the sky is blue. Grey and dull often suggest that the speaker is unhappy about the weather. Overcast is a more neutral word for describing the sky when none of it is blue. Dull is less frequent than the other words, used especially in literary or descriptive writing. * grey、overcast和 dull均指天空阴云密布,看不到蓝天。cloudy指天上有很多云,不过仍可看到蓝天。grey和dull常意味着说话者对天气感到不快。overcast是一个较中性的词,描述天空看不到蓝天的状况。dull不如其他词常用,尤用于文学或描写文体。■ murky /ˈmɜːki; NAmE ˈmɜːrki/ (often disapproving) (of air, the sky or light) dark and unpleasant, especially because of smoke or fog; difficult to see through (尤指因烟或雾使空气、天空或光线)昏暗的,阴暗的;难以看清的◆The light was murky and it was difficult to see ahead.光线昏暗,很难看清前面。 |
