    used about the weather or the air when it is very wet and usually hot, so you feel hot, sticky and uncomfortable.

    示範例句 · Example

    It was so humid this afternoon that my shirt stuck to my back.

    逐字今天下午如此濕熱,以至於我的襯衫黏在我的背上。

    「humid」講的是天氣或空氣:空氣裡的水氣很多,而且通常很熱,所以人會覺得黏黏的、悶悶的,很不舒服。可以想成「水氣就留在空氣裡」——汗流出來卻不容易乾,那種黏黏的感覺就是 humid 在說的事,台灣夏天最好懂。damp 用在冷冷的濕,muggy 是 humid 比較口語的說法,wet 則是東西表面有水(濕掉的衣服、濕掉的地)。

core核心畫面

Air so full of water that it will not take any more — your sweat stays on your skin, your shirt , and the heat feels heavier than the says.

可以想成空氣裡已經塞滿了水,再也吸不下你身上的汗:汗黏在皮膚上不蒸發,襯衫貼著背,明明溫度計上的數字沒那麼高,你卻覺得又悶又重。台灣夏天走出冷氣房的那一秒,就是這個字的畫面。
