肮脏的;下流的,令人讨厌的;恶劣的,艰险的;严重的;凶相的;

这组词都可表示“脏的”“恶心的”。它们的区别是:
dirty是最普通用词,意思是“肮脏的”; filthy比dirty强烈一些,表示“令人厌恶的”; foul是这几个词中语气最强烈的词,形容人时表示“令人作呕地讨厌”,形容物时表示“恶臭的”“很肮脏的”“味道难闻的”; nasty指“极其令人厌恶的”,常用来修饰人,表示“爱挑剔的”“令人厌恶的”。例如:
My coat is dirty.我的上衣很脏。
I ought to sell maximum out like that,I would be utterly filthy.我应把它们大部分卖掉,我太讨厌它们了。
The air in this room is foul, open the window.这屋里的空气令人作呕,把窗户打开。
He is a nasty man, don't talk with him.他是一个令人厌恶的人,不要和他说话。
这些形容词均有“脏的,污秽的”之意。
dirty普通用词,泛指被玷污或弄脏。
foul指由于腐烂、恶臭等造成的不干净,令人恶心。
nasty主要指特别讲究清洁的人感到讨厌的东西。
