an imaginary creature that people blame when a machine suddenly stops working （假想的）搗蛋小精靈（機器出故障時人們常歸咎於它） They blamed gremlins in the printer for the fact that the work was late. 他們把工作遲到的事實歸咎於印刷工人。 What wrong with this program? Looks like the gremlins have been at work again! 這個節目有什麽問題？看來格林一家又開始工作了！
Word Origin1940s: perhaps suggested by goblin.
