Question

eerie adj.怪诞的；可怕的；奇异的；害怕的 (1) 当压力在他们周围建造的时候，怪诞的赤热装满了小屋。(2) 天空呈现出怪诞的橘黄色调，太阳隐在一层奇异的雾霭后透出昏黄的光晕。(3) 靠近一只耳朵，一只近一些的耳朵，一只近乎可怕的耳朵。(4) 但这名字有什麽可怕的呢？(5) 一阵奇异的风吹过拥挤的人群。(6) 搅动的薄雾给你的万圣节餐桌添加了一种奇异的气氛。 Back in the 1300s when eerie first came on the scene, it meant "fearful or timid." It took a good 500 years or so before it morphed into the adjective we know today, which now means "causing fear because of strangeness." And the strangeness is key: Something that's eerie isn't just scary. It's mysterious, ghostly, and gives you the creeps. Like dark old castles, misty graveyards and creaky sounds in the middle of the night.
