Question

bleak a.寒冷的；阴沉的；阴郁的，暗淡的 bleak (adj.) c.1300, "pale," from Old Norse bleikr "pale, whitish, blond," from Proto-Germanic *blaika- "shining, white," from PIE root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, burn" (see bleach (v.)). Later "bare, windswept" (1530s). Sense of "cheerless" is c.1719 figurative extension. The same Germanic root produced Old English blac "pale," but this died out, probably from confusion with blæc "black;" however bleak persisted, with a sense of "bare" as well as "pale." 【记】音：壁 + leak 墙壁露风→寒冷；bleach 苍白的 冬天是苍白寒冷的
