Double whammy的意思是什麼呢???double whammy這個字就是我們中文裡「禍不單行」的意思，壞的事情接二連三的發生。
A: Poor Jimmy. He’s got divorced last week
and today he was given one week notice! Seems everything is against him.
B: Double whammy …
Whammy這個字可以見得有不好的意思在裡頭，所以當然你也可以更誇張的描述惡運就現是海浪般排山倒海而來，壞事一件接著一件，這時候其實英文你也可以做一下變化，triple whammy, even quadruple whammy …
厄運壞事的英文又要怎麼說呢???沒有錯，misfortune。Misfortune這個字是可以數的，One
misfortune, two misfortunes.
A: You seem to enjoy yourself with other
people’s misfortunes.
B: You’ll never know.
