 |
|
Hello teachers. I love reading English novels. when I was reading a certain novel, the character of it said �hideous white sign� referring to the famous Hollywood sign. Generally, �hideous� means �extremely ugly�. But in the novel, the character is very shy, so I thought such a harsh expression doesn�t become him. It seems to me that he just wanted to say �How big it is!�
Can �hideous� mean �huge�?
I hope you will kindly enlighten me on this point.
