| vocabulary扩展 | When you feel sorry for yourself, or overly sad about the difficulties you face, you're indulging in self-pity. It's often easier to identify self-pity in other people than in yourself, partly because your own self-pity keeps your attention focused inward. Before the 17th century, pity and piety meant the same thing, "compassion, care, or tenderness." Today piety means "religious reverence." |
