▷wistful ['wɪs(t)fʊl; -f(ə)l]
【释义】
Only one letter separates the two words, but "wishful" is having hope for something, and wistful is having sadness or melancholy about something. "Wist" isn't even a word that's used anymore, but you can still be wistful.
adj. 渴望的;沉思的,默想的;引起怀念的;不满足似的
a wistful smile
向往的微笑
I thought about those days in Spain and grew wistful.
我想起了那些在西班牙的日子,思念之情油然而生。
