- 1幸災樂禍（德文原詞，英文直接拿來用）
Schadenfreude is a German word that English borrowed whole, spelling and all. It names a feeling most people know and do not love to admit: a small, private pleasure when something bad happens to someone else. The who bragged fails a test, and a tiny smile appears. It does not have to be loud cruel laughter; often it is quiet, even a bit ashamed. You will meet the word in newspapers and among people who like a precise name for an awkward feeling; many speakers still just say “I shouldn’t enjoy this, but…” It became ordinary in English late in the twentieth century (an episode of The Simpsons helped). Though actually, having a flash of the feeling is very human. Making a habit of hoping people fall is another matter, and the word does not make that kind.
組成Unadapted borrowing from German Schadenfreude: Schaden (“damage, misfortune”) + Freude (“joy”).
