他們可能經(jīng)歷了有史以來最糟糕的一天
That lovely German word 'schadenfreude' describes the pleasure that one gets in witnessing another person's misfortune. While we don't necessarily condone this slightly evil feeling, it can be useful in putting one's own struggles into perspective.
這個可愛的德語單詞“schadenfreude(幸災(zāi)樂禍)”描述了一個人在目睹另一個人的不幸時所獲得的快樂。雖然我們不一定要寬恕這種輕微的邪惡感覺,但它可以幫助我們正確看待自己的掙扎。
For instance, it's Monday. You didn't get much sleep, the car won't start and you're late for work. What a terrible day you're having! It's easy to feel grumpy and full of self-pity, you might even bring the people around you down as well, with your crappy mood.
