3. Unseely
Many synonyms for unlucky follow the pattern of negating prefix + word meaning lucky. Somebody unseely is unlucky – indeed, ‘unfortunate, unhappy, miserable, wretched’.
很多不幸的同义词遵循的模式为:否定前缀+词义幸运。例如:unfortunate不幸, unhappy不开心, miserable悲惨的, wretched可怜的,同样是“不幸的”。
4. Wanspeedy
Also found in Old English, this obsolete adjective comes from the noun wanspeed (‘ill-success; adversity, poverty’) which, in turn, combines wan- (a prefix used to express negation, approximately equivalent to the modern un-) and speed, which, in its earliest uses, meant ‘abundance’.
这个老式的英文单词来自名词wanspeed(其含义为:不幸,贫穷),由wan和speed组成,其中wan为否定前缀(含义相当于un),speed最早有“富足”的含义。
5. Ungracious
You’ll be familiar with ungracious meaning ‘not polite or friendly’; it literally means ‘without grace’, and so the common contemporary definition applies to one definition of grace. In this instance, using another definition of grace, it can mean ‘without fortune or luck’.
对于ungracious,你熟知的含义可能为“不礼貌的、不友好的”,grace常见的含义为“优雅”,因此,ungracious的字面含义翻译为“不优雅的”。在这个情况中使用的是grace的另外一种含义,ungracious表示“不幸”。
