(强调惋惜+轻微抱怨)


❌ 常见错误避雷指南

  1. 混淆 pity/shame → ✖️ It’s a pity he lied.
    ✔️ It’s a shame he lied. (说谎用shame更贴切,隐含道德批评)

  2. 过度使用alas → ✖️ Alas! I lost my pen.
    ✔️ Oh no! I lost my pen. (小事用alas会显得夸张)

  3. 错用 regrettable 主语 → ✖️ I’m regrettable about it.
    ✔️ It’s regrettable that I missed the chance. (主语要是事件本身)


 时态变换小技巧

将"可惜"表达套入不同时态:

  • 过去时:It was a pity you weren’t there.

  • 现在完成时:It’s been a shame not seeing you.

  • 将来时:It will be too bad if you quit now.


 口语急救包(附语音语调)

  1. Oh well... → 无奈接受
     语调:先降后升 ➘➚ "Oh well, maybe next time."

  2. Bummer! → 美式俚语(朋友间用)
     语调:强烈降调 ➘ "Bummer! The cake is gone!"

  3. That’s life. → 豁达感叹

让"可惜"成为你的情感武器!

记住三个黄金原则:
  看场合 → 正式文书用unfortunately,朋友聊天用too bad
  听语调 → 同一句话,升调表遗憾,降调显冷漠
 背组合 → 掌握经典句型:It’s a shame that... / What a pity to...
