(天气)狂风大作的,风呼呼刮的;也可形容人说话做事“气势汹汹、夸张强硬”(较口语)。另有其他较少见用法。
/ˈblʌstəri/
It was a blustery day, so we stayed inside.
天气风很大,所以我们待在室内。
On the blustery morning of the election, he arrived in a heavy coat and delivered a blustery speech meant to sound confident, even though he was nervous.
选举那天早晨风又大又冷,他穿着厚外套赶到,并发表了一段语气强硬、想显得自信的演讲,尽管他其实很紧张。
“Blustery”来自动词 bluster(怒吼、咆哮般地说话;刮起大风),常被认为与模仿风声、吼声的拟声词有关,后来引申为既可描述“风势猛烈”,也可描述“言辞张扬、声势很大”。
