Question

hapless adj.倒霉的；不幸的 (1) 真正的原因并不在于那个倒霉的员工,而是老板的情绪。(2) 他那不幸的恋人被汽车撞倒了。(3) 他们都是这场飓风的不幸受害者。 The word hapless traces all the way back to the Old Norse word happ, meaning “chance, good luck.” Combine this with the suffix -less (“lacking”) and hapless means “unlucky” or “ill-fated.” A traveler who goes to Moscow and briefly gets lost on the subway? Just a tourist. A traveler who goes to Moscow, accidentally eats food he is allergic to, somehow loses all his money, and by chance gets on a train destined for Mongolia? Definitely hapless.
