We say 'bitterly disappointed' not 'strongly disappointed' or 'very disappointed' (though 'very' works, 'bitterly' is the natural intensifier). 'Bitterly' adds a sharp, painful edge to the disappointment.
我们说'bitterly disappointed'而不是'strongly disappointed'或'very disappointed'(虽然'very'也可以用,但'bitterly'是最自然的强调词)。'Bitterly'给失望增添了一种尖锐、痛苦的感觉。
Decimos 'bitterly disappointed' y no 'strongly disappointed' ni 'very disappointed' (aunque 'very' también funciona, 'bitterly' es el intensificador natural). 'Bitterly' añade un matiz agudo y doloroso a la decepción.
「bitterly disappointed」と言い、「strongly disappointed」や「very disappointed」とは言いません(「very」は使えますが、「bitterly」がより自然な強調語です)。「bitterly」は失望に鋭く痛みを伴うニュアンスを加えます。
'strongly disappointed'나 'very disappointed'('very'도 사용 가능하지만)가 아닌 'bitterly disappointed'라고 합니다. 'bitterly'는 실망에 날카롭고 고통스러운 느낌을 더합니다.
