For example, the Portuguese word "saudade," which means something like a bittersweet nostalgia for a person or thing that has passed, is a word that doesn't exist in English.

例如：葡萄牙语的“saudade”一词，是一个英语中没有的词，其含义是：对某个人或某件已经过去的事情的苦乐参半的怀旧之情。

Although without an accurate equivalent in English, saudade is describable as a common human feeling; it occurs when one is in love with someone or something yet apart from him, her, or it.

虽然英语中没有完全等同的形式，saudade被认为是人类共有的情感，它发生于一个人坠入爱河时或一些东西离他或她而去时。
