agony n.极度的痛苦；挣扎 (1) 看着他死去是极大的痛苦。(2) 他处于悔恨的海洋中。(3) 救救痛苦中挣扎的打工妹。(4) 成千上万的另一些人在痛苦中挣扎之后慢慢死去。 The noun agony is also used in the common phrase "the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat," which has been the tag-line of ABC's Wide World of Sports for decades. The catchphrase, in turn, is often rendered as a pun: "He fell of the ladder and broke his foot. He writhed in agony from the pain, but the physical pain, was nothing compared to his mental agony when the doctor setting the bone joked, 'Now you know the agony of de feet!'"
