squalor (n.) 污穢骯髒的環境

[字源解析]
拉丁字根 squalere 'dirty' (表'髒') ...真是小無趣的字源=.=


[諧音記憶]
squalor 音近似「死闊佬」。「死闊佬散盡家財,只得住在骯髒的環境裡。」 (十分感謝通曉爬說語的tetsuhiko提供)

[例句]
The squalor in which the refugees lived alarmed the aid workers, who knew they had to work quickly to improve these conditions.

這些難民居住的髒亂環境讓前來救援的工作人員大驚,而得知他們必須加緊腳步改善這些情況。

[同義字]
