“unfortunate”是一个形容词,主要含义为“不幸的”或“令人遗憾的”,描述因负面事件或结果而产生的消极状态。根据牛津词典的定义,该词用于指代“因运气不佳或意外事件导致的糟糕处境”,例如“an unfortunate accident”(不幸的事故)(https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/unfortunate)。其词源可追溯至15世纪中古英语,由否定前缀“un-”与“fortunate”(源自拉丁语“fortuna”,意为“运气”)组合而成,字面含义为“缺乏好运”(https://www.etymonline.com/word/unfortunate)。
在用法上,剑桥词典指出该词可修饰具体事件(如“unfortunate delay”令人遗憾的延误),也可描述人的处境(如“financially unfortunate”经济上窘迫)(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/unfortunate)。柯林斯词典补充说明,该词隐含超出个体控制的客观性,例如“It’s unfortunate that the meeting was canceled”(会议取消实属遗憾)(https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/unfortunate)。
语言学家Merriam-Webster进一步区分了其语义强度:相较于“unlucky”侧重偶然性,“unfortunate”更强调事件后果的严重性,例如“an unfortunate investment decision”可能带来长期负面影响(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unfortunate)。其常见近义词包括“regrettable”“ill-fated”,反义词则为“fortunate”“auspicious”(https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/unfortunate)。
单词unfortunate 的详细解释如下:
不幸的,倒霉的
令人遗憾的,不恰当的
(委婉)悲剧性的
