(文风、语言等)浮夸的,晦涩难懂的;(文体)冗长而缺乏清晰度。(也可指液体/身体“肿胀的”,但更常见于形容文风。)
/ˈtɝːdʒɪd/
His essay was turgid and hard to follow.
他的文章文风浮夸晦涩,让人很难读懂。
The report, turgid with jargon and needless detail, obscured the simple point it was supposed to prove.
这份报告充斥术语和不必要的细节,文风冗长晦涩,反而掩盖了它本应证明的简单要点。
源自拉丁语 turgidus,意为“肿胀的、膨胀的”,来自 turgēre(“肿起、膨胀”)。后来引申到写作与表达上,用来形容语言“膨胀”、堆砌、显得沉重难懂。
