1. 1粗笨的、愣頭愣腦的(舉止像個 oaf)

    Oafish describes the way an oaf acts: , heavy-handed, and a bit stupid, usually said of a man or of behaviour that feels like that. It is the adjective; oaf is the person.

    Oafish形容Oafish這個字描述的 is the way an oaf acts就是oaf(粗漢)做事的樣子: clumsy笨手笨腳, heavy-handed動作很重, and a bit stupid又有點蠢, usually said of a man通常是形容男生 or of behaviour that feels like that或形容那種感覺的行為. It它 is the adjective是形容詞; oaf是oaf is the person才是那個人.

    An oafish remark is a blunt, thing to say. An oafish movement knocks the glass off the table.

    An oafish remark一句oafish的話 is a blunt, tactless thing to say是很直白、不會看場合的話. An oafish movement一個oafish的動作 knocks the glass off the table會把杯子從桌上撞掉.

    The word is still informal, and it is said to someone's face. It is a little more “written” than oaf — you can put oafish in a story or a complaint and it sounds like a real description, not only a snap insult.

    The word這個字 is still informal還是不正式的, and it is unkind說出來 said to someone's face當面對人講很傷人. It它 is a little more "written" than oaf比oaf更常出現在書面裡一點——you can put oafish你可以把oafish用 in a story or a complaint在故事或抱怨裡 and it sounds like a real description聽起來像認真的描述, not only a snap insult不只是隨口罵人.

    Though actually, it does not mean “large” on its own; a small person can be oafish if they barge and blurt. It also does not mean “like an oak tree”; that is a different word, oaken.

    Though actually不過其實, it它 does not mean "large" on its own單獨並不代表「大」; a small person一個小個子的人 can be oafish也可以是oafish if they barge and blurt只要橫衝直撞、講話莽撞. It它 also does not mean "like an oak tree"也不是「像橡樹」的意思; that is a different word那是另一個字, oaken(oaken).
