Question

gaunt adj.憔悴的；荒凉的 (1) 他双颊消瘦。(2) 那栋旧房子荒凉空洞地伫立着，像一堆废墟。 A good way to remember gaunt is that it rhymes with haunt, and gaunt people look pale, drawn, and wasted — like you'd expect a haunting ghost to appear. Another way to remember it is that g- + aunt is like great-aunt, and often when you appear to be gaunt you look like you're old — like your Great Aunt Mildred.
