ghastly adj.可怕的；恐怖的；惨白的；不适的；糟透的；令人不快的adv.可怖地；惨白地 (1) 那座房子是个多么可怕的地方啊！(2) 那恐怖的景象使他感到恐惧。(3) 那女病人面色苍白。(4) 我觉得很不舒服, 我不该喝那么多!(5) 意外收入税这个主意糟透了。(6) 在这次圣诞节联欢会上我们玩得很不愉快。(7) 它的边缘，有一道带着蓝色的苍白的光，非常阴暗。(8) 卡德鲁斯凝视着弗尔南多，弗尔南多的脸色白的象一张纸。 An adjective used to describe that which inspires visions of death and feelings of revulsion, ghastly originated circa 1300. It is very close in meaning to the similarly spelled ghostly. In fact, the word in Old English was originally spelled gastli. But over the years, people confused gastli with ghost, began to adopt the gh- spelling. But don't you forget the "h" - that would be a ghastly spelling error on your part.
