「落井下石」是指在別人遭遇到不好的事情時，還加以陷害或打擊
在英文裡有個很類似的說法，叫 kick someone when he is down
其中的 he is 要隨前面的 someone 來改
比如 kick you when you are down
不過要注意的是，它和「雪上加霜」可不一樣
因為「雪上加霜」是指讓原本已經不好的情況變得更不好
第一它不是指人，第二它不見得是陷害或打擊
一般會說 To make things/matter worse, ……
比如：She lost her job. To make things worse, the doctor told her she had cancer.
各位要想清楚是哪種狀況
