发火发怒是生活中常见的情绪之一，那么用英语如何来表达发火呢? 1. hopping mad 怒不可遏;狂怒 Hopping是跳的意思，mad是生气的意思。生气得跳了起来，不就是中文说的气得跳脚?或者是暴跳如雷吗?现在我们再看看这句话在英语里是怎么用的。保罗描述了昨天在他家里发生的事。 例句2：My mom and dad were hopping mad when they looked at my brother’s report card from school and saw that he was failing in arithmetic and history, so that they made him stay home after school for a month instead of going out with his friends。 昨天我爸爸和妈妈看到弟弟的成绩单里算术和历史都不及格的时候，他们都暴跳如雷。他们不准我弟弟一个月之内外出去找朋友玩，放学以后只能呆在家里。 2. fit to be tied 十分恼火;暴跳如雷 Fit是合适，适宜的意思。Tied是绑起来的意思。Fit to be tied，当然就是应该绑起来的意思。可想而知，这个人所生的气该是多大了，到了应该将他绑起来的地步。看来hopping mad那种生气的人碰上了fit to be tied那种生气的人，最好还是忍让一些：好汉不吃眼前亏么。让我们来看看怎么应用这个习惯用语的。这个例子听起来都有点让人胆颤心惊。 例句3：Joe was really fit to be tied one night when he saw his best girl friend out with a big good looking guy. Later he felt pretty stupid, when he found out that the guy she was with was her older brother。 |
