“unfortunate”是一個形容詞,主要含義為“不幸的”或“令人遺憾的”,描述因負面事件或結果而産生的消極狀态。根據牛津詞典的定義,該詞用于指代“因運氣不佳或意外事件導緻的糟糕處境”,例如“an unfortunate accident”(不幸的事故)(https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/unfortunate)。其詞源可追溯至15世紀中古英語,由否定前綴“un-”與“fortunate”(源自拉丁語“fortuna”,意為“運氣”)組合而成,字面含義為“缺乏好運”(https://www.etymonline.com/word/unfortunate)。
在用法上,劍橋詞典指出該詞可修飾具體事件(如“unfortunate delay”令人遺憾的延誤),也可描述人的處境(如“financially unfortunate”經濟上窘迫)(https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/unfortunate)。柯林斯詞典補充說明,該詞隱含超出個體控制的客觀性,例如“It’s unfortunate that the meeting was canceled”(會議取消實屬遺憾)(https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/unfortunate)。
語言學家Merriam-Webster進一步區分了其語義強度:相較于“unlucky”側重偶然性,“unfortunate”更強調事件後果的嚴重性,例如“an unfortunate investment decision”可能帶來長期負面影響(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/unfortunate)。其常見近義詞包括“regrettable”“ill-fated”,反義詞則為“fortunate”“auspicious”(https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/unfortunate)。
單詞unfortunate 的詳細解釋如下:
不幸的,倒黴的
令人遺憾的,不恰當的
(委婉)悲劇性的
