>骆筱筱一怔后,小嘴一扁,眼泪汪汪地看着杨辰,楚楚可怜地嗫嚅:“知…知道了…你…你别丢下我…”

1) Usually a woman, but it can be a man ~
報導說,「調查人員發現他有兩張臉,面對偵訊時是楚楚可憐的樣子,而接受採訪,即轉化成另一種面目」、「侯德建的多重化和情緒化,……難怪大家會一致懷疑他的故事全部經過設計」
One report said, "The investigators discovered that Hou had two faces. With investigators he was weak and pathetic; yet in front of reporters he was a horse of an entirely different color." "With his duplicity and emotionalism. . . no wonder everyone suspected that his story was fabricated."

2) I'm not sure that "pitiable" quite captures the meaning. I think there is usually a connotation that the person is appealing or endearing, and that one feels protective towards them.
