「stark naked」是什麼意思？

英文和中文一樣，也有疊字的用法

就像我們說的「冰冷」，英文也有「freezing cold」

所以什麼叫 stark naked 呢？

(注意 naked 這個字是唸 [ˋnekɪd] 不是 [ˋnekd] )

其實 stark 在此是「完全地」的意思，是個副詞

而 naked 是「裸體的」

stark naked 就是「完全裸體的」

形容一個人一絲不掛，完全沒穿衣服的狀態

我們來造些句：

I was stark naked because I was taking a shower.
(我當時正在洗澡，所以全身光溜溜的。)

When she saw him in the bedroom, he was stark naked.
(當她在臥室中看到他時，他完全是裸體的。)

Everyone was born stark naked.
(每個人出生時都是裸體的。)

Do you leave your classroom with questions?

Do you stare at your blank homework page?

Are you confused why your paper is covered in red?

Do you have trouble learning new things because you didn't understand the previous lesson?

Have you lost your curiosity, so learning English is boring?
