When sb is mourning, they are often also showing their sadness, for example by their behaviour or, in many countries, by wearing black. Both words can be used directly before a noun (transitive) or can be followed by a preposition (intransitive), but it is more usual to say mourn sb/sb's death but grieve for/over sb. * grieve仅指感到悲伤;mourn还常指悲伤形之于外,如通过行为表现出来,或在很多国家通过着丧服来表示哀悼。这两个词均可直接用在名词前(作及物动词用),或接介词(作不及物动词用),但较常见的用法是mourn sb/sb's death和grieve for/over sb。■pine [intransitive] (written) to become very sad because sb has died or gone away, especially so that you behave in a different way from normal(因死亡或离别)难过,悲伤(尤指行为变得不正常)◆She pined for months after he'd gone.他去世后,她好几个月都悲伤不已。◆The Major's dog pined badly when her master died.少校的狗在主人死后伤心极了。
