    Remorse is a strong, heavy feeling of being sorry — not for a small slip, but for something you believe was really wrong. It sits in the chest. You feel remorse after you have hurt someone, broken a trust, or done harm you cannot easily undo.

    Remorse悔恨is a strong, heavy feeling of being sorry是一種強烈、沉重的愧疚感— not for a small slip, but for something you believe was really wrong,不是為了小小的過失,而是為了你認為真的做錯的事。It sits in the chest它壓在胸口。after you have hurt someone, broken a trust, or done harm you cannot easily undo在你傷害了某人、辜負了信任,或造成無法輕易挽回的傷害之後You feel remorse,你會感到悔恨。

    People say full of remorse or without remorse. Without remorse is a dark phrase: the person is not sorry at all, and we use it for cold or cruel behaviour.

    People say人們會說full of remorse滿懷悔恨or或without remorse毫無悔恨。Without remorse這個說法is a dark phrase是個很陰暗的說法:the person is not sorry at all指這個人一點也不覺得抱歉and we use it for cold or cruel behaviour,用來形容冷酷或殘忍的行為。

    Though actually, remorse is not the same as regret. Regret can be about a missed bus or a poor grade. Remorse is moral: you feel you have done something bad.

    Though actually不過,remorse is not the same as regret悔恨跟regret(後悔)不一樣。Regret can be about a missed bus or a poor gradeRegret可以只是為了錯過公車,或考壞了成績而已。Remorse is moral悔恨則牽涉到道德:you feel you have done something bad你覺得自己做了壞事。

    The word is common in news, novels, and courtrooms; in daily talk people often say I feel so bad instead, but they mean this.
