这组词都有“不幸的”的意思,其区别是:
unhappy侧重指精神上的不快或失望。
miserable指因贫穷、不幸或屈辱等外部因素给人造成精神痛苦、烦恼或肉体折磨,令人同情和可怜。
wretched多指由于疾病、担忧、忧伤等造成的不幸和痛苦,在外表上显得沮丧、可怜、失望,语气比miserable强。
sorry常作礼貌用词,表遗憾、婉惜。也指说话人表示同情、悲哀等,感情色彩较强。

15世纪初,“充满痛苦,导致悲惨”(形势)来自14世纪的古法语 miserable,直接源自拉丁语 miserabilis “可怜的,悲惨的,可悲的,令人遗憾的”,源自 miserari “怜悯,哀叹,悲叹”,源自 miser “可怜的”(参见 miser)。指人,“存在于贫困、痛苦、悲惨等状态中”,始见于1520年代。意思是“精神上充满痛苦,感到不快乐”,始于1590年代。相关词: Miserableness。
与 miser 相关的“贪婪的,吝啬的”意义始于15世纪晚期,但到1895年(《世纪词典》)已经“过时或苏格兰语”。作为名词,“不幸的,不快乐的人”,始于1530年代(后来由法语同源词加强,如雨果的 "Les Misérables")。
