词性：adj.  
音标： [ˈslʌɡɪʃ]  
释义：行动缓慢，行动迟缓，懒惰的，不景气的，萧条的

When you are feeling draggy — positively slug-like — you are _sluggish_, or slow. If cookie sales are _sluggish_ at your bake sale, you are selling very few treats.

Just about anything can be sluggish. An old computer that takes forever to load a piece of software is sluggish, as is a car that can’t quite make it up a big hill. And who isn’t sluggish in the morning before the first cup of coffee?! Picture a slug moving its heavy little body across a basketball court… Still going? Yes. It will take that slug forever to get to the foul line at the sluggish pace it’s moving.
