“卖惨”用英语如何表达呢？今天我们就一起来学习一下吧:


Sadfishing has become very common on social media.卖惨在社交媒体上变得很常见了。

讲解

这里的 sadfishing 是 sad 和 fishing 组成的一个词，fishing 指的就是“钓鱼”，通过“悲伤来钓鱼”，欺骗他人的感情，这就是卖惨了。It's not just to express your sadnese, but to exaggerate emotional pain in order to attract sympathy, attention and/or - in this case at least - profit. 大家注意把 sadfishing 和一般的抱怨区分开来，sadfishing 通常是“夸大的”，或者是“虚假的悲惨经历。”

发音

我们在读这句话的时候，要注意has become在这里用的是完成时，become 这个动词的过去分词形式还是become，过去时才是became，不要说成了has became，就是错误的了。
