他们可能经历了有史以来最糟糕的一天
That lovely German word 'schadenfreude' describes the pleasure that one gets in witnessing another person's misfortune. While we don't necessarily condone this slightly evil feeling, it can be useful in putting one's own struggles into perspective.
这个可爱的德语单词“schadenfreude(幸灾乐祸)”描述了一个人在目睹另一个人的不幸时所获得的快乐。虽然我们不一定要宽恕这种轻微的邪恶感觉,但它可以帮助我们正确看待自己的挣扎。
For instance, it's Monday. You didn't get much sleep, the car won't start and you're late for work. What a terrible day you're having! It's easy to feel grumpy and full of self-pity, you might even bring the people around you down as well, with your crappy mood.
