- 1軟綿綿的;一壓就凹的。像軟沙發、爛掉的水果那種手感。
Something squashy is soft enough that it gives way when you press it, and changes shape as it does. A squashy cushion, a squashy sofa, a squashy tomato, squashy mud under your shoes.
Something某個東西squashy is軟到is soft enough that你一壓it gives way就會凹下去when you press it,and而且changes shape形狀也會跟著改as it does變。A squashy cushion軟綿綿的靠墊、a squashy sofa軟軟的沙發、a squashy tomato爛軟的番茄、squashy mud腳下爛泥under your shoes。
The feeling is pleasant more often than not — a squashy is one you sink into — but it turns negative with food, where squashy usually means or crushed: 'the peaches at the bottom of the bag had gone squashy.' It is an informal, rather British-sounding word, common in children's books and in talking about furniture and fruit.
The feeling這種感覺is pleasant多半是more often than not舒服的——a squashy armchair一張squashy的扶手椅is one you sink into就是那種你會陷進去的——but但it turns negative用在食物上就變負面了with food,where squashy usually means這時squashy通常是指overripe or crushed過熟或壓爛了:'the peaches at the bottom of the bag had gone squashy'袋底的桃子已經爛掉了。It它is an informal是個口語詞,rather British-sounding而且蠻英式的word,common常用in children's books在童書裡,and和in talking about furniture and fruit講家具和水果的時候。
It describes how a thing feels under your hand or your body, so it works best for things you touch.
It它描述的是describes how a thing feels一個東西摸起來的感覺under your hand or your body在你手上或身體壓上去的感覺,so所以it works best最適合用在for things you touch你摸得到的東西上。
Note the related but different squishy, which is nearly the same and even more informal, and often adds the idea of wetness or a small sound. If a student says squishy where a book says squashy, nobody will be confused.
Note請注意the related but different相關但不同的squishy這個字,which它nearly the same跟squashy差不多,and even更是more informal口語,and而且often adds常常帶有the idea of wetness潮濕感or a small sound或一點小聲音的意味。If如果a student學生says squishy說squishy,where而book課本上says squashy寫的是squashy,nobody沒有人will be confused會搞混。
