短释义
You might assume that hap is short for happening, but it is actually an Old Norse word for “luck.” So with mis (“bad”) in front of it, it literally means “bad luck.” Mishaps can be accidents of great consequence or minimal consequence. People often say that an event went off “without a mishap,” meaning that it went smoothly. Hopefully this will be the case if you ever get knee surgery.

长释义
You might assume that hap is short for happening, but it is actually an Old Norse word for “luck.” So with mis (“bad”) in front of it, it literally means “bad luck.” Mishaps can be accidents of great consequence or minimal consequence. People often say that an event went off “without a mishap,” meaning that it went smoothly. Hopefully this will be the case if you ever get knee surgery.
您可能会认为 hap 是“发生”的缩写,但它实际上是古挪威语中“运气”的意思。所以前面加上mis(“坏”),字面意思就是“运气不好”。事故可能是造成严重后果的事故,也可能是造成轻微后果的事故。人们常说一件事情“无事发生”,意思是事情进展得很顺利。如果您接受膝盖手术,希望情况会是这样。

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
