earthy adj.泥土的；粗俗的；朴实的；世俗的 (1) 雨后的空气里弥漫着一种土腥味。(2) 他常常有粗俗的幽默感。(3) 迈克尔有一种粗俗的幽默感，他喜欢讲粗俗的笑话。(4) 他身上有一种生气勃勃的粗俗味儿吸引着她。(5) 印度、印尼和马来西亚的朴实的艺术作品深深吸引我。(6) 乡土音色如爵士乐或爵士灵歌中有种朴实无华的音色。 Adding one letter y to earth changes earth's status from a noun to an adjective. And what a versatile adjective it is! You could use it in a more literal way, like the "earthy smell" coming from the vegetable garden. Or, you could use it in a more figurative way — like to describe someone who wears Birkenstock sandals and grows her own bean sprouts. Earthy can also be used to describe someone who tends to be gross or vulgar, but this use of the word is somewhat euphemistic.
