1. 1寂寞的、孤單的(帶點懷舊、鄉村歌曲式的語感)

    Lonesome means feeling sad because you are alone, very close to 'lonely,' but with a softer, more old-fashioned or emotional feel - it's common in American country songs and stories, especially about wide-open, empty places. It can describe a person's feeling ('I feel lonesome tonight') or a place that feels empty and isolated ('a lonesome road').
