英文释义

形容词 adj.
  1. Causing, or likely to cause, an uproar.
    — “Oh! there's no fear of him,” said Burgess, cheerily; “if he grows uproarious, we'll soon give him a touch of the cat.”
  2. Characterized by uproar, that is, loud, confused noise, or by noisy and uncontrollable laughter.
    — The noise in this room was perfectly tumultuous, […] every child was conducting itself like forty. The consequences were uproarious beyond belief; but no one seemed to care; on the contrary, the mother and daughter laughed heartily, and enjoyed it very much; and the latter, soon beginning to mingle in the sports, got pillaged by the young brigands most ruthlessly.
  3. Extremely funny; hilarious. broadly
    — Yet as with Booksmart, the summer's earlier riff on that Apatovian classic, there are times when Good Boys feels a little too nice to actually be uproarious. In more ways than one, it's the training wheels for a better comedy—a slightly edgier and funnier one.
  4. In a mess; dishevelled, untidy. figuratively
