易混淆對比

commiserate vs sympathize
「commiserate」強調因共同經歷或深刻理解而「一起感到難過」，通常需要互動或對話；「sympathize」則更廣泛，指對他人的困境「感到同情或憐憫」，可以是單方面的情感。
commiserate vs condole

commiserate vs empathize
「commiserate」聚焦於「分享負面情緒」，重在情感上的共苦與安慰；「empathize」強調「理解他人的感受與觀點」，不一定是負面情緒，且更側重認知上的理解。

「commiserate」不能直接接受詞，必須使用「commiserate with someone over/on/about something」的結構。
×I want to commiserate about your bad luck.
✓I want to commiserate with you about your bad luck.
「commiserate」的核心是「與某人」共同感到遺憾或同情，因此「with + 對象」是必要元素，不能省略。
