标题:The Great Stuff Transfer Has a $750 Billion Golden Lining
In the coming avalanche of possessions being passed down from baby boomers to younger generations, jewelry is the bright spot.
正文:When Andrew Stinger’s mother, Nancy, died of cancer in 2024, her grief-stricken husband and sons began the journey of managing her estate in probate court — a process that would stretch almost two years. Then, in January 2025,Stinger’s father, Bill, died unexpectedly. And yet, there was one happy spot amid the heartbreak: the jewelry.
知识点:【grief-stricken】 /ˈɡriːf strɪkən/ adj.
英文释义:grief-stricken means overwhelmed by extreme sorrow, especially after a death
本义为"被悲伤击中的"(stricken 是 strike 的过去分词,"被打中"),丧亲语境核心义为 悲痛欲绝的(本文特指:南希因癌症去世后,丈夫比尔和两个儿子的状态——作者不用sad 或heartbroken,而用英语里最重的那一档词,暗示这家人是被打垮了)
核心搭配:grief-stricken family、panic-stricken、poverty-stricken、drought-stricken、horror-stricken
・The grief-stricken widow could not bring herself to sort through her husband's study. 悲痛欲绝的遗孀始终无法动手整理丈夫的书房。
・Rescue workers comforted grief-stricken relatives waiting outside the collapsed building. 救援人员安抚着在坍塌楼房外等候的悲痛家属。
