    If someone is inconsolable如果一個人inconsolable, they are so sad, or so shocked, that kind words and hugs do not reach them yet代表他傷心或震驚到溫柔的話語和擁抱都還碰不到他。 A child who has lost a pet像是失去寵物的小孩。 A person after a death in the family或是家人過世後的人。 Sometimes, more loosely, a fan after a lost game有時候,比較鬆散地,也可以指輸球後的球迷—— though actually, that use is a bit like acting不過其實,這種用法有點像在演戲; the core picture is real grief that will not take comfort for now核心的畫面是那種暫時無法被安慰的真實悲傷。

    The word describes a state, often a passing one: people say “inconsolable for days,” not usually “an inconsolable personality.” It is a strong word. If someone is only a bit down, this is too much.

    The word describes a state, often a passing one這個字描述的是一種狀態,通常是暫時的: people say "inconsolable for days,"人們會說「inconsolable for days(難過到無法安慰好幾天)」, not usually "an inconsolable personality."但不太會說「an inconsolable personality(一種無法安慰的個性)」。 It is a strong word這是個很強烈的字。 If someone is only a bit down如果一個人只是有點低落, this is too much用這個字就太過頭了。
