strange
詞義最廣。指非一般的、不平常的、費解的或與預期不同的，還強調陌生，不熟悉。?
With so many strange faces around her, she felt a bit nervous.身邊盡是陌生的面孔，她感到有點緊張。?
eccentric
指行為偏離常規，特別是顯得古怪或可笑。?
You’ll be considered eccentric if you go to the banquet in your tennis shoes.如果穿著網球鞋去參加宴會，別人會認為你很古怪。?
odd
強調有異于正常，表示不標準、不正規、不符合規律等，暗示這種奇異令人困惑不解。?
Einstein was considered an odd man by the neighbours’ kids.鄰居的孩子們認為愛因斯坦是個古怪的人。?
peculiar

queer
比odd更強調古怪性，指古怪得令人難以置信或離奇可笑。該詞是個比較陳舊過時的詞。曾被用于指男子同性戀者，宜慎用。?

unique
可指在某一方面不同尋常、特別，有較強的“獨一無二”的意思。?
