Purse-lipped：愠怒的
<p><span word="Purse">Purse</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span>：愠怒的</p><p>看到上边这只漂亮的手提袋了吧？别误解，这可不是在打广告，而是提醒您看一眼——袋子拉拢时，袋口线缝处袋子皱巴巴的模样。待会儿谈到的<span word="purse">purse</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span>（满脸愠怒）可与这“皱褶”有直接关系。 据说早期英国居民的钱包采用的就是这种线拉式的设计，正是由这个皱皱的“褶边”， <span word="purse">purse</span>（小包；小钱袋）可以引申为<span word="purse">purse</span>（皱起；皱拢）。看下面的例句：<span word="She">She</span> <span word="pursed">pursed</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="lips">lips</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="dislike">dislike</span>.（她不高兴地噘着嘴巴。）很明显，<span word="purse">purse</span>（“噘起”嘴唇）在这里是比喻意，指“某人不高兴；满脸愠怒”。 似乎不用再多做解释了，如果在阅读外文刊物时，您看到下面一句话——<span word="Snyder">Snyder</span> <span word="arrived">arrived</span>-<span word="purse">purse</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span>, <span word="prepared">prepared</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="scold">scold</span>. <span word="He">He</span> <span word="scolded">scolded</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="left">left</span>, <span word="more">more</span> <span word="purse">purse</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span> <span word="than">than</span> <span word="before">before</span>. ——大概不难理解<span word="purse">purse</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span>的含义。<span word="Purse">Purse</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span>在这里是“<span word="purse">purse</span> <span word="one">one</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="lips">lips</span>”相应的形容词形式，指“（因不同意某种观点或做法）而愠怒的、不高兴的”。 如果下次忘记了<span word="purse">purse</span>-<span word="lipped">lipped</span>的含义，很好办，想一想钱袋子缝合处皱皱的褶边，您会发现，记单词原来不是件难事儿。</p>
