Lusty
Lusty 并不常指“好色的”（那是 lustful），而是指一个人或事物表现出极大的生命力、活力或强度。
- 人: 强壮的、健康的（如 a lusty young man）。
- 声音: 响亮的、有力的（如 a lusty cheer）。
- 事物: 强烈的、旺盛的（如 a lusty appetite）。
- “The baby gave a lusty cry as soon as it was born.” (婴儿一出生就发出了响亮的哭声。)
- “He has a lusty appetite for life and adventure.” (他对生活和冒险充满旺盛的渴望。)
- “The sailors sang a lusty song as they pulled the ropes.” (水手们拉绳子时唱着有力的歌曲。)
- 源自 lust 的古义（活力、快乐）。
- -y: 形容词后缀。
在古英语和中世纪英语中，lust 更多指“愉悦”或“生命力”。Lusty 保留了这一原始含义，常出现在描述乡间生活、航海或中世纪英雄的文学作品中。
- 副词: lustily
- 名词: lustiness
想象一个“壮”小伙在“大”声唱歌。这种充满力量和生命力的状态就是 lusty。
The knight was not just brave; he was lusty and strong. He would wake up at sunrise, give a lusty shout to wake his horse, and eat a lusty breakfast of bread and meat. Everyone in the village admired his lusty spirit, for he never seemed to grow tired of life.
