misfortune (n.)

Mischance is the lightest word for that which is really disagreeable; a mishap may be comparatively a trivial thing; both generally apply to the experience of individuals. Misfortune is the most general of these words; a misfortune is a really serious matter; it may befall a person, family, or nation. A very serious misfortune affecting large numbers is a calamity, the central idea of which is wide-spread and general mischief. [Century Dictionary, 1895]
Mischance 是指真正令人不愉快的最轻的词语; mishap 可能是相对微不足道的事情; 两者通常适用于个人的经历。 Misfortune 是这些词语中最常见的; 不幸是一个真正严重的问题; 它可能会影响一个人、家庭或国家。影响大量人的非常严重的不幸是 calamity,其核心思想是广泛和普遍的灾难。[世纪词典,1895]
