短释义：
Grievous is derived from the noun grief, which means “sadness.” When something is grievous, therefore, it’s not just bad, but so bad that it causes unusually intense shock or sadness. It’s often used to describe crimes and other bad deeds that go beyond mere criminality and into the world of cruelty. For example, it’s harmful to steal from someone; it’s grievous to steal from them and then, having stolen their stuff, beat them up or kill them.
如果某件事被称为“严重”，你最好认真对待它。 Grievous 用于描述悲剧或犯罪等可怕的事情。如果你的伤口很严重，创可贴根本不起作用。

For example, it’s harmful to steal from someone; it’s grievous to steal from them and then, having stolen their stuff, beat them up or kill them.
Grievous源自名词grievous，意思是“悲伤”。因此，当某件事令人悲伤时，它不仅是坏事，而且坏到会引起异常强烈的震惊或悲伤。它经常被用来描述超越单纯犯罪行为并进入残酷世界的犯罪和其他不良行为。例如，偷窃别人的东西是有害的；从他们那里偷东西，然后在偷了他们的东西后，殴打他们或杀死他们，这是很严重的。
