每日一词学英语(110): incongruous

为应对经济危机，27岁的英国人Nick Weston在树上搭建了一座屋子，并要在那里过半年的罗宾逊（Robinson Crusoe）式的生活。搭建屋子所用材料很多都是自给自足，开销很少。他的女友想尽一己之力，给屋子安了窗帘，有点不协调，但颜色很红。The slightly incongruous but pretty red curtains were added by his girlfriend, Clare: “She wanted to do her bit.” (From The Sunday Times, August 16, 2009: If you go down to the woods today...)
