意味: A formal complaint about unfair treatment, or a feeling of resentment over something believed to be wrong or unjust.

申诉，关于不公平待遇的正式投诉；或因认为遭受不公而产生的怨恨情绪。

Queja formal; reclamación por trato injusto, o sentimiento de resentimiento ante algo que se considera erróneo o injusto.

苦情申し立て、不当な扱いに関する正式な訴え。または不正や不公平だと感じていることに対する憤りの感情。

고충, 불만. 부당한 대우에 대한 공식적인 불만 제기. 또는 부당하거나 불공정하다고 여기는 것에 대한 분노의 감정.

Grievance operates in both formal and informal registers. In employment law, a 'grievance procedure' is the official process for raising complaints about working conditions, bullying, or discrimination. More broadly, people speak of 'nursing a grievance' or 'airing grievances' to describe harbouring or expressing resentment. The word implies that the complaint is felt to be legitimate by the person making it, whether or not others agree.

grievance 既适用于正式场合，也适用于非正式场合。在劳动法中，'grievance procedure（申诉程序）'是就工作条件、欺凌或歧视等问题提出正式投诉的官方流程。在更广泛的语境中，人们说'nursing a grievance（心怀怨恨）'或'airing grievances（发泄不满）'来描述隐忍或表达怨愤。该词暗示投诉者本人认为其诉求是合理的，无论他人是否同意。

Grievance se emplea tanto en el registro formal como en el informal. En el derecho laboral, un 'grievance procedure' (procedimiento de reclamación) es el cauce oficial para presentar quejas sobre condiciones de trabajo, acoso o discriminación. En un sentido más amplio, se habla de 'nursing a grievance' (alimentar un agravio) o 'airing grievances' (expresar quejas) para describir el hecho de albergar o manifestar resentimiento. La palabra implica que la queja es considerada legítima por quien la formula, coincidan o no los demás.

grievance はフォーマルな場面にもカジュアルな場面にも使われる。雇用法では「grievance procedure（苦情処理手続き）」が、労働条件やいじめ、差別に関する不満を申し立てる公式な手順を指す。より広い文脈では、「nursing a grievance（不満を抱え続ける）」「airing grievances（不満を口にする）」のように、怨みを抱いたり表明したりすることを表す。この語は、他の人がどう思うかにかかわらず、不満を述べる本人がその訴えを正当だと感じていることを含意する。

Grievance는 격식체와 비격식체 모두에서 사용된다. 고용법에서 'grievance procedure(고충 처리 절차)'는 근무 조건, 직장 내 괴롭힘, 차별에 대한 불만을 제기하는 공식 절차이다. 보다 넓은 맥락에서 'nursing a grievance(원한을 품다)'나 'airing grievances(불만을 토로하다)'는 분노를 간직하거나 표출하는 것을 뜻한다. 이 단어는 타인의 동의 여부와 관계없이, 불만을 제기하는 당사자가 그 불만이 정당하다고 느끼고 있음을 함축한다.
