تفاوت با واژههای مشابه
gloomy— غمگین و تاریک (هوا یا محیط)/عبوس (چهره یا روحیه) و ناامیدکننده (شرایط یا آینده) و ناراحتکننده (خلق و خو یا حالت). بیشتر روی غم و عدم نشاط تمرکز دارد و معمولاً حس کینه یا بدخلقی پنهان در 'sullen' را ندارد. 'The gloomy weather made everyone sad' works, but 'He was gloomy because he lost' might imply sadness rather than anger and has no implication of bad temper like 'sullen' does, and doesn't explicitly imply silent unresponsiveness. It can be used for things too ('a gloomy forecast'), while 'sullen' is usually for people. Its main distinction from 'sullen' is its broader application and lack of explicit bad temper or resentment. It can apply to things, situations, and people's general mood. While it can describe someone who is unhappy, it doesn't necessarily mean they are sulking or actively showing displeasure in a withdrawn way. The focus is often on the sadness or lack of cheerfulness, without the underlying resentment or bad temper implied by 'sullen'. For example, if someone is simply sad, they are gloomy; if they are sad AND refusing to talk due to anger, they are sullen. 'The gloomy weather made everyone sad' works, but 'He was gloomy because he lost' implies sadness rather than anger or petulance.
morose— عبوس و گرفته و ناخوشایند. معمولاً به معنی کسی است که بسیار ناراحت، بدخلق و منزوی است و اغلب از صحبت کردن امتناع میکند. شدیدتر و رسمیتر است و حالت عمیقتر و پایدارتری از ناراحتی و کنارهگیری را نسبت به 'sullen' نشان میدهد. 'A morose prisoner' works, 'a morose child' is less common than 'a sullen child'. It is a more intense and often literary term, implying a profound and persistent state of unhappiness and withdrawal, often to the point of being unfriendly or unapproachable. While 'sullen' describes a temporary mood or reaction, 'morose' suggests a more ingrained personality trait or a prolonged state. A morose person is not just sulking, but deeply and consistently unhappy and withdrawn. It tends to be more formal or literary. For example, a morose person might spend days without speaking to anyone, whereas a sullen person might be in a temporary bad mood after an argument.
grumpy— ترشرو و بداخلاق. بیشتر روی تحریکپذیری آشکار تمرکز دارد تا کنارهگیری ساکت و کینهتوزانهای که اغلب با 'sullen' همراه است. 'The grumpy old man shouted at the kids' works, 'The sullen child refused to speak' describes a different behavior. It is informal and describes someone who is easily annoyed or irritable, often showing displeasure outwardly through complaints or scowling. Unlike 'sullen,' which implies silent resentment and withdrawal, 'grumpy' suggests more overt, though often mild, expressions of displeasure. A grumpy person might complain or grumble, whereas a sullen person might refuse to respond at all. For example, a grumpy person might complain about the food, while a sullen person might simply refuse to eat it without saying why.
