Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：日常口语中谈论衣着或外观时、非正式场合评价人或地方不整洁时 scruffy 通常是非正式用词，多用于口语中形容人或衣着、场所等不整洁、邋遢，语气略带负面。在正式写作或需要礼貌的语境中较少使用，可考虑换用 untidy 或 shabby。
Pronunciation & Spelling
fluffy, stuffy, puffy, huffy, toughie all rhyme with scruffy (/ˈskrʌfi/): the stressed vowel /ʌ/ plus following /fi/ match. Beware spelling lookalikes that sound different: scruff /skrʌf/ has no final /i/, and scrappy /ˈskræpi/ uses /æ/.
