Question

homely adj.家常的；平凡的；相貌平庸的；简单且好的 (1) 我们吃了一顿面包加乳酪的家常便餐。(2) 那些朴实的话语表达了一代又一代人的集体智慧。(3) 我看到她的妹妹很失望,她是一个相貌平平的女孩。 The adjective homely is a slightly more gentle word than ugly, with a meaning closer to "plain" than "hideous." It's almost always used to describe a less-than-attractive person, and occasionally an animal. If you were British, you'd use homely to mean "cozy and homelike," but in the United States you'd say "homey". Be careful not to confuse homey with homely, or you could accidentally hurt someone's feelings.
