英美音标 英 [ɡrɪ'ɡeəriəs] 美 [ɡrɪ'ɡeriəs]
中文释义 adj.爱社交的;群居的
英语例句 (1) She's very outgoing and gregarious.

中文例句 (1) 她非常外向,喜欢交际。
(2) 社交网站正在以飞快的速度改变着人们的生活。
vocabulary简明 If you know someone who's outgoing, sociable, and fond of the company of others, you might want to call her gregarious.
vocabulary扩展 The word was originally used to describe animals that live in flocks — it's from the Latin word grex, meaning "herd." Not surprisingly, people began using it to describe humans who liked being in groups. Today biologists still speak of gregarious species, but you're more likely to hear it in reference to people. Despite what you might suspect, it has no historical connection to the name Gregory — but if you know an outgoing fellow with that name, you could call him Greg-arious.
