My Example:
Hay una frase en inglés que dice: “A la miseria le encanta tener compañía.” El significado de esta frase es si alguien está miserable, quiere que todos se sientan miserable también. Desgraciadamente, normalmente es verdad.
There is a saying in English that “misery loves company.” This means that if someone is miserable, they want everyone else to feel miserable too. Unfortunately, this is usually true.
