Question

ordeal n.严酷的考验；痛苦的经验；神裁法 (1) 在这个严酷的考验中，恒一直僵硬地躺着，默不作声。(2) 我不想再受这种痛苦的经验。(3) 过多的选择很快就丧失了它的优势，而成为一种痛苦的经验。 When you go through an ordeal you have to deal with something tough. Waiting for someone you love to recover from an injury and come home from the hospital is an ordeal––for both of you––and being a victim of a crime is a different kind of ordeal. You can use this noun in an exaggerated way, too, as when you endure the long ordeal of cleaning the garage on a sunny weekend.
