释义

Very sad and shocking, usually because it involves death, suffering, or a terrible event. It can also be used informally to describe something as very bad or embarrassing.

用法与细微差别

Usually stronger than 'sad' and often used for serious real-life events: 'a tragic accident', 'a tragic loss'. In informal speech, some people say 'tragic' for something minor ('That haircut is tragic'), but this is much lighter and can sound rude or dramatic.
