Sad , but not sorry , is often used with words which refer to a sign that sth exists in a society or system: truth, reality, fact, comment, example, indictment, reflection and reminder . 不過，sorry較常表示令人感到惋惜的，sad較常表示令人不滿的。sad常與反映某事物存在於某一社會或制度的詞連用，如truth、reality、fact、comment、example、indictment、reflection和reminder，但sorry不能這樣用。 ■ feeble (of a person or their attempt to do sth) weak, useless or not successful （人或其做某事的嘗試）無力的，無效的，不成功的 ◆ He told a few feeble jokes.他講了幾個幹巴巴的笑話。 ◆ Don't be so feeble! Tell her you don't want to go.别那麽軟弱！告訴她你不想去。 NOTE 辨析 Pathetic is more informal than feeble and can show stronger disapproval or contempt (= lack of respect) . * pathetic較feeble非正式，可表示更強烈的反對或蔑視。 ■ regrettable (formal ) that you are sorry about and wish had not happened 令人惋惜的；可惜的；令人遺憾的 ◆ It is regrettable that the police were not informed sooner.遺憾的是沒有早些報警。 ◆ The loss of jobs is highly regrettable.失去工作非常令人遺憾。 ▸ regrettably ◆ Regrettably, crime has been increasing in this area.令人遺憾的是這一地區的犯罪率在不斷上升。 NOTE 辨析 unfortunate and regrettable can be used to describe things that happen and collocates include incident, occurrence, error, consequence and tendency . However, sth that is regrettable is usually considered to have been at least partly within sb's control: the use of regrettable suggests that sb wishes to accept some blame, or blame sb else. Sth that is unfortunate is more often considered to be the result of bad luck. * unfortunate和regrettable均可描述發生之事，搭配詞有incident、occurrence、error、consequence和tendency。不過，regrettable所描述之事通常被視爲至少部分在某人的控制之内，意味着某人願意爲此受責，或想責怪他人。unfortunate所描述之事較常被視爲運氣不好所致。
