Poor include the mean: incapable
Did you think they are incapable, Eternity? … I hate English…
Why my IELTS tutor never tell me the difference between them!
Oh…Again…Chinglish.
And then, I think ‘poor’ is better to explain my feeling.
OK!!! I must learn the difference from ‘poor’,‘pathetic’ and ‘wretched’. I don’t think it’s a good word to explain my feeling. I mean ‘wretched’?
Emmmmm, ‘Wretched man’ is really not a good word in chinese…
It include: sneaky in chinese…
Did you think they are sneaky? nonononono…
emmmmm, I got it!!! I got it!

‘causing or evoking pity, sympathetic sadness, sorrow.’
Yes, they cause and evoke my pity and sympathetic sadness. That’s what I mean. good, good.
As someone who has a master degree. I need to practice my english skill anymore… I’m pretty sure…
I’ll try my best here.
If someone or something is poor (as in bad or unskilled), then it usually invokes sympathy or pity and can be improved with time, and is often due to inexperience or not having a good teacher. If someone or something is pathetic, on the other hand, then it invokes disgust and the thought that there’s no hope for them, and is usually a result of their own poor choices. Pathetic is far more negative and deliberate than poor. (Note you might say “very poor choice of words” to imply that someone didn’t think something through when saying something, but you would rarely say a “pathetic choice of words” unless the person in question is already beneath contempt)
Wretched has some similarities to pathetic, but tends to imply something more systemic (e.g. a ‘wretched hive’ is sometimes used to describe a crime-ridden city slum).
Eh…So…poor is better… better…I’m pretty sure…
I guess…That’s why my tutor didn’t tell me the word.
