喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/dɪsˌsætəsˈfækʃən/ · /ˌdɪsætəsˈfækʃən/不滿；不滿意

    the feeling you have when something is not as good as you wanted or expected, so you are not happy with it.

    示範例句 · Example

    Many customers expressed dissatisfaction with the long wait for their food.

    逐字許多顧客表達了對於等他們的食物很久的不滿。

    「dissatisfaction」可以想成 satisfaction（滿意）前面加上 dis-（相反的意思）——「覺得不夠好」的那種感覺就長出來了。它是安靜、可以講出來的情緒：問卷、客訴信、新聞裡最常用它，比 anger（生氣）冷靜，比 don't like（不喜歡）具體，重點在「這件事沒有達到我想要的水準」。它是不可數名詞，後面幾乎都接 with，例如 dissatisfaction with the service（對服務不滿）。

core核心畫面

One way to picture it: you had a line in your head marking *this would be good enough*, and what actually arrived stopped short of it. The feeling that sits in that gap — between what you expected and what you got — is dissatisfaction. It is not anger and not sadness; it is the quiet sense that something has not measured up.

你心裡本來就畫了一條線，那條線代表「這樣我就滿意了」，結果實際拿到的東西停在線的前面，沒有到。停在那個落差裡的感覺，就是 dissatisfaction。它不是憤怒，也不是難過，而是一種安靜的「這不夠」——事情本身可能沒出什麼大錯，只是跟你原本期待的比起來差了一截，而那個差距一直在。
