Welcome to English in a Minute.

Everyone loves a good party! But maybe not all parties. Let's go to a pity party.

Pity Party 自我怜悯（因感到不幸或未受到公平对待）

Dan: You would not believe my morning. First, I was late to the gym.

Anna: You belong to a gym? Wow, you are so lucky!

Dan: And then I forgot my coffee.

Anna: I'll buy you a coffee.

Dan: And then...

Anna: Dan! Let's take a walk. Walking will bring you out of this pity party that you're in.

A pity party is when a person feels sorry for themselves. That's the pity part. Maybe they feel unlucky or that they have been treated unfairly. And then they talk about it a lot. That's the party part. Except it's not a party. It's a downer.
