怎么解释里都有Unhappy的意思,但是却又这么写：
WHICH WORD?
alone / lonely / lone
Alone,and on your own,by yourself,which are less formal and are the normal phrases used in spoken English,describe a person or thing that is separate from others.They do not mean that the person is unhappy:I like being alone in the house.◆ I'm going to London by myself next week.◆ I want to finish this on my own (= without anyone's help).
Lone/solitary/single mean that there is only one person or thing there; lone and solitary may sometimes suggest that the speaker thinks the person involved is lonely:a lone jogger in the park ◆ long,solitary walks.
Lonely (AmE also lonesome) means that you are alone and sad:a lonely child ◆ Sam was very lonely when he first moved to New York.It can also describe places or activities that make you feel lonely:
a lonely house.

Lonely is unhappy but alone is not.不知你查的那个牛津是怎么回事.我可以举出大量例子说明alone可以是happy的：
Leave me alone 别打搅我.
I'm all alone tonight.Do you want to come over and spend the night with me?(这个all alone的幸福之感不言而喻 :-))
Being alone can be quite rewarding.单独一人会很有成就感.
当然也有unhappy的例子：
Trying to be happy,but feeling all alone.想法要自己高兴,但是很寂寞.
所以,alone本身是两者都可以的,happy与否要看语境.Lonely则是真的unhappy.

lonely 是孤独的意思
alone 是独自的意思
