99、Woe is me. Me thinks I’m turning into a god. --- Vespasian
吾即苦難。我想，我將轉(zhuǎn)為神。
woe means deep distress or misery, as from grief; wretchedness.是指悲慘或悲哀、深深的痛苦或苦惱，如因悲傷；不幸。
Woe also means misfortune; calamity,是指不幸；災(zāi)難的意思。例如：economic and political woes.經(jīng)濟(jì)和政治的災(zāi)難。
我們再來看一下下面的句子：
W-is me!(=W-to me!) 我真不幸!
W-(be) to sb. (=W-betide sb. !) (詛咒語)愿某人倒霉!
W-worth the day! 今天真倒霉!
methinks (one word) vi. (past tense, methought) =it seems to me 我想，我認(rèn)為，是一個古老的用法了。
