喜樂美語
  1. 1a/ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪntɪd/失望的

    Feeling sad because something you hoped for did not happen, or because a person or thing turned out to be worse than you thought.

    disappointed 是「期待落空」的難過，不是單純的 sad——心裡本來有一個希望，結果沒發生或不如預期，那種洩了氣的感覺就是 disappointed。常見句型：be disappointed with/about + 事情、be disappointed in + 人（對某人失望）、be disappointed that + 子句。

core核心畫面

Picture the gap between what you were expecting and what actually arrived: the result, the meal, the news. The feeling only exists because something was hoped for first — no hope, no disappointment.

可以想成：期待的那個版本和實際來的版本之間的落差——成績、那頓飯、那個消息。這種感覺一定要先有期待才會發生：沒有先期待，就不會失望。所以它常常跟原本的希望一起出現在句子裡。
