1. 1不幸、倒霉事(「不幸」較正式;口語常說「倒霉」)

    Misfortune is very bad luck, or the bad thing that happens because of it. It can be the weather of your life (a time of misfortune) or one event (losing a job, a fire, a sudden illness). The word does not say the person deserved it; luck, not blame, is the idea — though actually people sometimes say it when they mean a mess someone partly caused. It is a step more formal than bad luck or a hard time. News, stories, and careful speech like it; among friends, 倒霉 or 'what rotten luck' is more common. You can have the misfortune to be somewhere when something happens, which is a set way of saying you were unlucky enough to be there. It is not a small . Missing a bus is bad luck; misfortune is the heavier word.

組成mis- (badly, wrongly) + fortune (luck, the way things fall).
