Note:

Come guida ai diversi usi e significati dell'aggettivo brutto presentati nella voce qui sotto, va specificato che gli equivalenti inglesi distinguono abbastanza nettamente tra il giudizio estetico e quello di valore. - Nel primo caso, l'equivalente diretto di brutto è ugly, ma quest'ultima parola è molto forte (= bruttissimo, decisamente brutto), ed è pertanto sostituibile, con riferimento a cose, da espressioni via via meno forti quali rather ugly, not much to look at o not very nice; con riferimento a persone, si può usare ancora not much to look at, o very ordinary-looking, not at all good-looking (per i maschi) e not very pretty, rather plain o plain (per le femmine). - Nel caso di un giudizio principalmente di valore, l'equivalente più comune è senz'altro bad; si possono usare anche terrible, dreadful e awful, che con l'uso hanno perso il significato forte di un tempo. Si veda la voce qui sotto per ulteriori esempi
