这间低屋顶的房间通风不好,令人气闷。
[误] The air in this low-ceilinged room was stuffy and oppressive.
[正] This low-ceilinged room was stuffy and oppressive.
注:虽然汉语中可以说“空气闷”,但是在英语中,stuffy 和oppressive 等的主语不能是air,而应当是某个地方,如theatre(戏院),classrooom(教室)等名词。
stuffy: 通风不良的;窒息的;闷热的
a stuffy room
空气不流通的房间
oppressive: 压抑的;沉重的;烦闷的
