当别人说了一件特别糟糕/特别不好的事,我们就可以说:
That's rough.
意思就是:真糟糕呀,好惨啊。可以用它表示同情。
这里它也相当于:
That's hard. / Tha's bad.
举个栗子:
A: She left him, took the kids and the house.
她离开了他,把孩子和房子都带走了。
B: That's rough. The poor guy has nothing left.
真的是好糟糕啊,这个男的什么都没有了。
再看一个栗子:

我看了医生,他跟我说需要做手术。
B: Oh, that's rough. But first I think you should get a second opinion.
哦,太糟糕了,我觉得你首先考虑问问别人的意见。
当看到别人身上发生不好的事情时,我们就可以用 that's rough 作为评价~
