    sorrow means a feeling of sadness or distress caused esp. by loss, disappointment or regret, grief. 悲傷,悲痛,懊喪,悔恨。
    sorrow 后常跟的介詞有at/for/over.
    例如:
    sorrow at somebody's death 因某人去世而感到的悲傷。
    sorrowing over his child's death 因他孩子夭折而悲傷。
    我們?cè)賮?lái)看一下這個(gè)單詞的另一個(gè)固定搭配:
    more in sorrow than in anger:with more regret than anger for what was done. 感到遺憾,倒并不生氣。
    例如:
    It was more in sorrow than in anger that he criticized his former colleague.
    他批評(píng)以前的同事,并非出于氣憤而是為他惋惜。
    這句格言選自蘇格蘭宗教詩(shī)人波洛克的〖時(shí)間的進(jìn)程〗。
