Compared meaning: giving a pleasant feeling of physical ease (adjective).

比较义项：（某物或某个环境）让人感到舒适、放松（形容词）。

• comfortable

  The general, neutral word for physical ease; it can describe almost anything (shoes, furniture, a room, a temperature) without suggesting warmth or a home-like feel.

  这是表示身体上舒适感最中性、适用范围最广的词，可以形容几乎任何东西（鞋子、家具、房间、温度等），并不带有温暖或家的氛围的意味。

  These running shoes are surprisingly comfortable for long distances.

  这双跑鞋出乎意料地舒适，适合长距离奔跑。

• cozy

  Adds a feeling of warmth and snugness, often in a small enclosed space with soft, warm things like blankets or a fire; more emotionally warm and informal than comfortable.

  在舒适之外还带有温暖、惬意的感觉，常用于有毯子、炉火等温暖柔软事物的小而封闭的空间，语气比comfortable更带感情色彩、更随意。

  We curled up under a blanket by the fire in the cozy den.

  我们在温馨的小起居室里裹着毯子依偎在炉火旁。

• homely 本词

  Describes a place's simple, unpretentious, home-like atmosphere (mainly British usage); used for places and atmospheres rather than objects like shoes or chairs, and carries no sense of luxury.

  形容某个地方朴实、不做作、像家一样的氛围（主要用于英式英语），一般用来形容地方和氛围，而不是鞋子、椅子这类物品，也不带有豪华的意味。

  The little tearoom felt homely, with its worn armchairs and open fire.

  这家小茶馆里放着用旧的扶手椅，炉火敞开着，让人感觉很有家的味道。

Comfortable, cozy, and homely all describe something pleasant and relaxing. Comfortable is the most neutral and general, used for shoes, furniture, or a room. Cozy adds warmth and snugness, often in a small, warm space. Homely (mainly British) describes a place's simple, home-like atmosphere.

这三个词都可以形容某样东西或某个环境让人感到舒适，但语气和适用范围不同：comfortable最中性、适用范围最广；cozy强调温暖、惬意，常用于温馨的小空间；homely（主要用于英式英语）强调朴实、家常、像家一样的氛围。这里不比较homely在美式英语中形容人“长相普通、不好看”的意思，也不比较comfortable表示（经济上）“宽裕的”的意思。
