- 1幸災樂禍；洋洋得意（帶貶義，像在別人面前炫耀）
If you gloat, you show — in a way that other people — that you are very pleased with yourself, or, even worse, that you are happy because someone else has lost, failed, or been hurt. The feeling sits near pride, but gloat is never a kind word: it says you are rubbing the win in someone’s face. People gloat over a ’s mistake, gloat about their own scores, or wear a gloating look. You will hear it in everyday talk and in news about sport and . It is a little sharp, not a swear word, but nobody likes to be told they are gloating. Though actually, the old picture behind the word is not “pride” at all — it is a mean grin, almost a stare, which is why gloat still feels like a face you can see.
組成Does not split into pieces a student can see. From Middle English, and before that Old Norse glotta (“to grin in a scornful way”) or an Old English cousin; both from a Germanic verb meaning “to stare”, and further from an old root meaning “to shine”. German still has glotzen, “to gawk”.
