Sorrows remembered sweeten present joy. ----- Pollok
不忘过去的痛苦,才能倍感今天的幸福。-----波洛克
【世博精解】
sorrow means a feeling of sadness or distress caused esp. by loss, disappointment or regret, grief.悲伤,悲痛,懊丧,悔恨。
sorrow后常跟的介词有at/for/over.例如:sorrow at somebody’s death因某人去世而感到的悲伤。sorrowing over his child’s death因他孩子夭折而悲伤。
我们再来看一下这个单词的另一个固定搭配:
more in sorrow than in anger:with more regret than anger for what was done.感到遗憾,倒并不生气。例如:It was more in sorrow than in anger that he criticized his former colleague.他批评以前的同事,并非出于气愤而是为他惋惜。
这句格言选自苏格兰宗教诗人波洛克的〖时间的进程〗。
