喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Mirthless means there is no real laugh in it — no warm amusement, even if the face is doing the shape of one.

A mirthless laugh can sound bitter, tired, or cold, as if the person is making the sound because that is what you do, not because anything is funny. It is a quiet, slightly dark word, more at home in books than in chat. Though actually, mirthless does not mean silent. The sound can still be there. What is missing is the .

    毫無笑意的（常說 mirthless laugh／smile：乾笑、皮笑肉不笑那種）
