However, heartbreaking usually expresses a greater degree of personal sadness. Tragic is used especially to describe terrible events that happen to other people: heartbreaking describes events that affect you personally.形容事件时,tragic常比heartbreaking严重,经常与某人受苦或死亡有关。然而, heartbreaking所表示个人悲痛的程度更强。tragic尤用于形容发生在别人身上的不幸事件,heartbreaking则用于形容对自己有影响的事件。
