二、詞義辨析:還有那些詞匯能表示“不幸的”

miserable, wretched, unhappy, sorry

這些形容詞均含“不幸的”之意。

miserable指因貧窮、不幸或屈辱等外部因素給人造成精神痛苦、煩惱或肉體折磨,令人同情和可憐。

wretched多指由于疾病、擔(dān)憂、憂傷等造成的不幸和痛苦,在外表上顯得沮喪、可憐、失望,語氣比miserable強(qiáng)。

unhappy側(cè)重指精神上的不快或失望。

sorry常作禮貌用詞,表遺憾、婉惜。也指說話人表示同情、悲哀等,感情色彩較強(qiáng)。

三、最后,做個填詞游戲吧

He decided to help Jan as he felt ______ for her.
他同情簡的遭遇,決定幫助她。 ?
