年は明けてしまいましたが、クリスマスに発生した事件が未だに尾を引いています。

Real-life Grinch steals Christmas: Family's festive celebrations ruined by burglar who broke into their house and stole their presents - twice

We had been buying presents throughout the year and our hall was like an Aladdin's Cave. All that was left was four or five gifts.
When I realised somebody had stolen them I was gutted. We were really upset and couldn't believe it had happened.
'We went to the shops on Christmas Eve trying to pick up a few replacement presents, but the children only had a handful to open on Christmas morning.

Mail Onlineから拾います。本日取り上げる表現はguttedです。これは、’bitterly disappointed or upset.’Oxford Dictionaries Online、という意味になります。さらに、Cambridge Dictionaries Onlineでも調べてみたところ、これはUK Slangで、’extremely disappointed and unhappy.’と定義されていました。被害者がSlangを使用していることからも、大切なクリスマスを台無しにされてしまった憤りが、哀切にも伝わってきます。(Shou-VR*)
