Life is made up of sobs, sniffles and smiles with sniffles predominating. ----O Henry

人生是由呜咽，抽泣和微笑组成，而在三者之中，抽泣处于支配地位。 ---- 欧 亨利

【世博精解】

这里我们来了解一下sob这个单词。

sob means to weep aloud with convulsive gasping; cry uncontrollably.是指呜咽抽搐着喘气地大声哭；不能控制地哭。例如：The child sobbed loudly. 这个孩子大声地哭泣。

sob oneself to sleep.直哭得睡去。sob means to put or bring (oneself) into a specified condition by sobbing:这里是指哭得使…哭得使（自己）进入某种状态。

我们引申一下，我们说伤感文章的女记者, 演伤感角色的女演员，就可以说：sob sister，伤感小说：sob stories。
