n.歡笑;高興 [Gladness and gaiety(快樂), especially when expressed by
laughter.]
ps. mirth 就是"高興"，是比較文學上的說法，這種高興的表現手法是笑。
ex. I seek to be capable of sharing the mirth with my people.

mischief

n.頑皮,淘氣,胡鬧 [conduct or activity that playfully causes petty annoyance.]
ex. What mischief is he up to?
他在搞什麼惡作劇?
大家應該有聽過 achieve 這個字吧
a(to) + chief(頭;head)
概念是to come to a head，
所以achieve的字義為to bring to a successful end.
而mischief的概念則是：to end badly
字首 mis-，它本身的含意是負面的，有 ill、mistaken、wrong、的概念
