英文释义

形容词 adj.
  1. Downy; fluffy. obsolete
    — A black portmanteau, a black bag, a desk, a dressing-case, a brown-paper parcel, a hat-box, and an umbrella strapped to a walking-stick. It was all very dusty and fluey. I had our porter up to get under the bed and fetch it out; and though he habitually wallows in dust,--swims in it from morning to night, and wears a close-fitting waistcoat with black calimanco sleeves for the purpose,--it made him sneeze again, and his throat was that hot with it that it was obliged to be cooled with a drink of Allsopp's draft.
  2. Similar to influenza, or as if suffering from influenza.
    — I felt fluey this morning: all bunged up, achey, dizzy and tired.
