You can picture sad as the heavy, downward feeling inside you when something bad has happened — the corners of your mouth pull down, your chest feels low. Hold that one feeling and the rest follow: a thing that puts this feeling into you, a situation so poor it makes you feel this way, a life that looks low and lonely, and an informal sneer that calls something so poor it's almost .

可以把 sad 想成:碰上壞事時心裡那股往下沉的感覺——嘴角垮下來、胸口悶悶的。抓住這股「往下沉」的感覺,其餘用法就順下來了:一件「把這股感覺塞進你心裡」的事物,一個糟到讓人有這種感覺的處境,一個看起來低落又孤單的人生,以及一種帶嘲諷的口語用法,說某樣東西爛到幾乎讓人替它難過。
