"sympathy" in Chinese (Traditional)

• 同情
• 體恤

Definition

sympathy 指對他人的痛苦、困難或不幸產生關心、難過和支持的感覺。它也可以表示在別人處境艱難時給予理解和安慰。

Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))

常見搭配有 'feel sympathy for'、'show sympathy' 和 'express sympathy'。它和 'compassion' 接近，但通常強調對他人痛苦的關心，而不一定像 'empathy' 那樣強調設身處地感受對方的情緒。正式場閤中，'my sympathies' 常用於對死亡或重大損失表示慰問。
