英文释义
形容词 adj.
-
In low spirits from loss of hope or courage.
— Thanks to that penny he had just spent so recklessly [on a newspaper] he would pass a happy hour, taken, for once, out of his anxious, despondent, miserable self. It irritated him shrewdly to know that these moments of respite from carking care would not be shared with his poor wife, with careworn, troubled Ellen.
词源
From Latin dēspondēns, from the verb despondere (“to give up, to abandon”).
