fulsome/ˈfʊls(ə)m/adj. 1 disgusting by excess of flattery, servility, or expressions of affection; excessive, cloying (因过分恭维、卑从或亲热而)令人厌恶的，令人作呕的；过分的；使人感到腻烦的 2 disp. copious [异议]丰富的；大量的 □ fulsomely adv.□ fulsomeness n.[Middle English, from FULL1 + -SOME1]■ Usage 用法说明 The original meaning of fulsome was ‘copious’ (see sense 2 above). However, this usage is now considered incorrect, and fulsome is used only as a pejorative term, applied to nouns such as flattery, praise, and tribute, meaning ‘excessive’ or ‘cloying’. fulsome 的原义是 copious (丰富的，富饶的；充裕的) (见上面释义 2) 。然而，这一用法现在被认为是不正确的。 fulsome 现仅用作轻蔑词，用以修饰某些名词如 flattery, praise 及 tribute ，表示“过度(恭维)的”或“令人倒胃口的，令人感到腻烦的”。 |
