短释义:
When it comes to expressing unhappiness, wailing lies at the extreme end of the spectrum. So, it’s best to save this response for life’s most unpleasant moments — unless you’re a jazz musician. In jazz terminology, wailing on one’s instrument is actually a good thing. What’s the connection between an eardrum-shattering expression of misery and a hot jam session? The answer to that question may depend on your personal musical preferences.
哀号是发出长长的大声哭声。如果你真的感觉很痛苦,请深呼吸并尽可能大声地哭泣。

当谈到表达不满时,哭泣属于最极端的一种。因此,最好将这种反应保留在生活中最不愉快的时刻——除非您是爵士音乐家。在爵士乐术语中,用乐器哀嚎实际上是一件好事。令人震耳欲聋的痛苦表情和热即兴演奏会之间有什么联系?该问题的答案可能取决于您个人的音乐偏好。
