1. freak
英文释义:1)A freak event or action is one that is a very unusual or extreme example of its type. 不寻常的;2)If you describe someone as a particular kind of freak, you are emphasizing that they are very enthusiastic about a thing or activity, and often seem to think about nothing else. 狂热爱好者。
同样也有“怪人”的意思,但也可以指畸形。
另外,freak还常指那些对某些事情格外热衷、狂热的人,比如:a fitness freak (健身狂),a movie freak (电影迷)。
例:
1)、He's going out with a real freak.
他的约会对象真奇葩。

英文释义:If you describe someone as a weirdo, you disapprove of them because they behave in an unusual way that you find difficult to understand or accept. 怪人。
英文里weird用作形容词,表示“离奇的,古怪的,甚至不符合自然规律”的意思。
比如我们在英文媒体中常能看到weird news,指的就是“奇闻”。
而表示“奇葩”这个含义,就需要在词尾变换一下,用weirdo来表示行为古怪、让人难以理解的人。
例:He's such a weirdo.
他真是个怪人!

5、geek

比如: a computer geek 指“电脑
奇才”或“电脑发烧友”。
其实,geek本身就是指那些十分聪明但社交上又有些问题的人。
例:He was a real geek in high school.
他上高中时,性格古怪,不太合群。
6、oddball
英文释义:If you refer to someone as an oddball, you think they behave in a strange way. 怪人。
