- 1透風的；會灌冷風的、有穿堂風的（美式拼作 drafty）
If a room or a building is draughty, cold air keeps blowing through it — under the door, around the window, through cracks in an old wall. You feel a thin, unwelcome wind on your neck. It is ordinary British English, slightly complaining, the kind of thing you say about a poorly sealed house in winter. Americans write drafty. Though actually, a little moving air can be nice in summer; we mostly say draughty when that air is a nuisance, not a blessing.
