turgid 英 [ˈtɜ:dʒɪd] 美 [ˈtɜrdʒɪd]
adj. 肿胀的；浮夸的；浮肿的
The fifth – and longest – book on which the film is based plays a crucial but faintly turgid role in the saga. 电影改编自哈利波特系列第五部，也是至今为止改编过的最长的一部，原著里的角色在历险中显得至关重要却略有浮夸。
They are, to be sure, a peculiarly boring breed of romantic, speaking in turgid prose rather than poetry. 当然，他们是一类特别乏味的浪漫主义者，念的全是华而不实的散文，却没有诗章。
- Turgid describes something that's swollen, typically by fluids, like a turgid water balloon that's way too big to resist dropping on your friend's head.
