欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。大家好，我是冯菲菲。
Rob
And I’m Rob! Now, Feifei, can you help me with this social media post I’m trying to write?
Feifei
I’ll try – what do you want to say?
Rob
Well, I want to post something about how tired I am because I’ve been working so hard, and how I just can’t go on.
Feifei
看样子你是想寻求同情！
Rob
Sympathy? No, no, I just want to tell people how exhausted I am because I am so hard working. You just don’t understand!
Feifei
I completely understand. You are sadfishing!
Rob
Sadfishing? I don’t even like fish!
Feifei
No, Rob. You’re fishing for sympathy. 你这是在寻求同情。
我们用 “sadfishing” 这个新表达来指 “一个人夸大自己的情绪问题，以在社交媒体网站上获得他人的同情或者关注”，也就是我们俗说的 “卖惨”。
Rob
Hmm, that doesn’t sound like me. Right, I’m going to send my post now – there, done!
Feifei
Good luck. Let’s hear some examples of sadfishing.
Examples
He got lots of ‘likes’ for his post about having no friends, but I think he was sadfishing – he’s got loads of mates!
I don’t know if Heidi really has a problem with her skin. I think she’s just sadfishing and wants attention.
Some people say there’s a growing trend for sadfishing and people just share their worries online to get noticed. But I wonder if it’s a cry for help?

这里是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。以上，我们介绍了新表达 “sadfishing” 的意思和用法。简单地说，“sadfishing” 就是 “卖惨”，用悲伤的故事来获取同情或关注。So, Rob, how’s your ‘sadfishing’ going?
Rob
It’s not sadfishing, Feifei. I’m just telling people about my terrible life so they understand. Oh, and look! I have received a comment already.
Feifei
Oh, who from?
Rob
It’s from Roy. He says “Stop moaning! I work even harder, every weekend and every evening, but it’s OK because I love my job!”
Feifei
It looks like he’s fishing too.
Rob
What, sadfishing?
Feifei
No, fishing for compliments. Roy 这是在寻求赞美和恭维！
Rob
No, Roy’s just sad – working at the weekends! Hmm… perhaps my life isn’t so bad. Err… I think I’ll delete my post now.
Feifei
Good idea. Bye, Rob.
Rob
Bye!
