Turbid, muddy, or unclean. Can also refer to a hoarse voice. (表示浑浊、污浊、不干净,也可指声音沙哑)
Can be used as an adjective to describe the state of water, air, or a person's voice. (可作形容词,用于描述水、空气的状态,或人的声音状态)
In traditional Chinese culture, the concept of "turbid" is often contrasted with "clear". It can symbolize the chaos and impurity in the world. (在中国传统文化中,“浊”常与“清”相对,可象征世间的混乱与污浊)
这杯水很浑浊,不能喝。(This glass of water is very turbid and cannot be drunk.)
Think of the "氵" radical as water, and "虫" as something that might make the water dirty. So "浊" means turbid water. (可以把“氵”部首想象成水,“虫”想象成让水变脏的东西,这样“浊”就是浑浊的水)
