- nonsense
- 胡说；荒唐无意义的话 · gibberish 强调话听起来像乱码、根本无法辨认或理解（常因发音含混或内容毫无逻辑）；nonsense 更侧重内容荒谬、不合情理，语气更口语、常带责备。gibberish 一般不可数，nonsense 还可指“荒唐的行为或事情”。
- jargon
- 行话；专业术语 · gibberish 只有第二个义项才指故作高深、外人完全看不懂的术语，含贬义；jargon 是中性的“某行业或群体的专业用语”，圈内人看得懂，不一定无意义。要表达“看不懂的术语”用 jargon，表达“纯属废话、谁也看不懂”才用 gibberish。
- babble
- 含糊不清的话；咿呀学语声 · babble 多指婴儿或语无伦次的连续声音，也可作动词，常含“不停絮叨”的意味，其声音不一定完全无意义；gibberish 强调内容彻底无法理解、毫无意义，且一般只作名词。
