idiom

 (informal, spoken) a shame; a pity 遗憾；可惜◆Too bad every day can't be as good as this.真可惜不是每一天都像今天这么好。ⓘ Too bad is often used ironically to say 'bad luck' or 'it's a shame' when you do not really mean it. * too bad常用作反语，等于说bad luck或It's a shame，实际上并无同情之意◆ (ironic) If sometimes they're the wrong decisions, too bad.如果碰巧这些决定是错误的，那可就太不幸了。 ■ sad [only before noun] (often disapproving) deserving or inviting criticism; making you feel pity 该受批评的；招致责难的；令人遗憾的◆This sad state of affairs does not have to continue.这种糟糕的局面不必继续下去。◆It's a sad fact that many of those killed were children.让人难以接受的是遇难者中很多是孩子。▸ sadly

Sad, but not sorry, is often used with words which refer to a sign that sth exists in a society or system: truth, reality, fact, comment, example, indictment, reflection and reminder. 不过，sorry较常表示令人感到惋惜的，sad较常表示令人不满的。sad常与反映某事物存在于某一社会或制度的词连用，如truth、reality、fact、comment、example、indictment、reflection和reminder，但sorry不能这样用。 ■ feeble (of a person or their attempt to do sth) weak, useless or not successful （人或其做某事的尝试）无力的，无效的，不成功的◆He told a few feeble jokes.他讲了几个干巴巴的笑话。◆Don't be so feeble! Tell her you don't want to go.别那么软弱！告诉她你不想去。NOTE 辨析 Pathetic or feeble? Pathetic is more informal than feeble and can show stronger disapproval or contempt (= lack of respect). * pathetic较feeble非正式，可表示更强烈的反对或蔑视。■ regrettable (formal) that you are sorry about and wish had not happened 令人惋惜的；可惜的；令人遗憾的◆It is regrettable that the police were not informed sooner.遗憾的是没有早些报警。◆The loss of jobs is highly regrettable.失去工作非常令人遗憾。▸ regrettably

adverb

◆Regrettably, crime has been increasing in this area.令人遗憾的是这一地区的犯罪率在不断上升。NOTE 辨析 Unfortunate or regrettable?Both unfortunate and regrettable can be used to describe things that happen and collocates include incident, occurrence, error, consequence and tendency. However, sth that is regrettable is usually considered to have been at least partly within sb's control: the use of regrettable suggests that sb wishes to accept some blame, or blame sb else. Sth that is unfortunate is more often considered to be the result of bad luck. * unfortunate和regrettable均可描述发生之事，搭配词有incident、occurrence、error、consequence和tendency。不过，regrettable所描述之事通常被视为至少部分在某人的控制之内，意味着某人愿意为此受责，或想责怪他人。unfortunate所描述之事较常被视为运气不好所致。
