标题：Musk’s Promise to Give SpaceX Stock to Kids Is No Gift

正文：One of the great joys, but also miseries, of following business news over the past decade or so has been riding the dodgy roller coaster of the Elon Musk experience. He has gone from a guy people considered a real-life Tony Stark to something more like a modern-day Henry Ford,in the worst possible way, with countless gut-wrenching twists in between. At no point, however, did anybody think: “Hey, you know who’s missing out on this? Children.” Until today.

知识点：【misery】 /ˈmɪzəri/ n. 英文释义：misery (n.) means great suffering or discomfort, either physical or mental 本义为"痛苦、煎熬"（拉丁 miseria，与miserable、miser 同源），作不可数名词时指一种持续的难受状态。本文特指：与joys 并列——one of the great joys, but also miseries，追马斯克的新闻又爽又遭罪，一句里把他定性成"又爱又恨的连续剧" 核心搭配：the joys and miseries of、misery loves company、put sb out of their misery、economic misery、make sb's life a misery

・The joys and miseries of following this company are hard to separate. 追踪这家公司的乐趣与折磨，已经很难分开了。

・He put us out of our misery and admitted the launch was delayed again. 他终于让我们解脱了：承认发射又推迟了。
