大学英语六级考试：读文章记单词练翻译十五
[背景了解]
文章取自于2003年9月的阅读真题，是关于眼泪的文章，选段有些长，希望耐心看下，自己先猜下划线部分单词的意思吧
[文章部分]
Crying is hardly activity encouraged by society. Tears, be they of sorrow, anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears is likely to apologize, even when a devastating(毁灭性的） tragedy was the provocation. The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional outpouring. But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, links between illness and crying and the chemical composition of tears, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive.
