英文释义

形容词 adj.
  1. Of, pertaining to, or constructed of turf.
    — Thy turfy mountains, where live nibbling sheep,
  2. Relating to or involved with horses or horse-racing. obsolete
    — Good and fearless horse-women themselves, their whole delight seemed to be in the discussion of matters pertaining to the stable; and when meeting any young lady friend from a distance, the first questions were not enquiries after parents, sisters, brothers, or friends: no, nor even the lady-beloved talk of weddings and dress; but the discourse almost invariably took a “turfy” turn, that was, to say the least, unfeminine in the extreme.
