Sorrows remembered sweeten present joy. ----- Pollok
　　不忘过去的痛苦，才能倍感今天的幸福。-----波洛克
　　sorrow means a feeling of sadness or distress caused esp. by loss, disappointment or regret, grief.悲伤，悲痛，懊丧，悔恨。
　　sorrow后常跟的介词有at/for/over.例如：sorrow at somebody’s death因某人去世而悲伤。sorrowing over his child’s death因他孩子夭折而悲伤。
　　我们再来看一下这个单词的另一个固定搭配：
　　more in sorrow than in anger：with more regret than anger for what was done.感到遗憾，倒并不生气。例如：It was more in sorrow than in anger that he criticized his former colleague.他批评以前的同事，并非出于气愤而是为他惋惜。
　　这句格言选自苏格兰宗教诗人波洛克的"时间的进程"。
