换句话说，这种流泪行为有什么益处呢？

Too plangent. No, make it less lachrymose, but keep the trite death speech.

太悲哀。不行，不要写得这么催泪，但老掉牙的寻死活要继续。

It would be fitting for a series that lives up to its name and fuels the most lachrymose among us, and that has little interest in what we expect, to do away with happy endings.

那这部剧的名字就名副，它点燃我们最悲伤的情绪，不按照观众所期待的方向发展剧情，放弃幸福的结局。

The best fun was with Madame Joubert: Miss Wilson was a poor sickly thing, lachrymose and low-spirited, not worth the trouble of vanquishing, in short; and Mrs. Grey was coarse and insensible; no blow took effect on her.

最有趣的是跟朱伯特太太: 威尔逊小姐是个病怏怏的可怜虫, 老是哭哭啼啼, 没精打采, 总之不值得费力去征服她;格丽太太又粗俗又麻木, 任什么打击对她都不起作用。
