各位聽眾朋友,這里是可可早間課堂。我是Juliet??煽稍缯n堂給您講解的是最基礎(chǔ),最基本的英語知識,是培養(yǎng)您的英語基本技能的地方。歷經(jīng)20多年來的英語學習,我深深感到:基礎(chǔ)即是精髓,基本即是精華。
【今日主題】
我們來看第8題:真奇怪,他會這么生氣。
It's strange that he feel so angry.
【點評】
[陷阱提示] that he feel so angry 這個主語從句中的謂語是feel,用的是其原形,大家可不要看到主語he,第三人稱單數(shù),而且主句中的時態(tài)又是一般現(xiàn)在時,就“胸有成竹”畫蛇添足地給feel加上個小尾巴“s”。我們中國不是有句話嗎:吃力不討好。您多寫個s,費了力,在考試中還要挨扣分。
[短語詳析] 該句子中“生氣”的表達是非常通俗的用詞了“angry”,那么既然出現(xiàn)了angry,我就來簡單說說angry的用法。 Be angry with somebody 生某人的氣 be angry about something 因某事而生氣 be angry with somebody about something(強調(diào): with somebody 放于about something的前面,也就是把“人”放于“事”的前面) 因某事而生某人的氣。我們大家都熟悉一個詞,和它意思一樣的是:mad, mad 的基本意思是“發(fā)瘋的,瘋狂的”,當您生氣時,您會失去理智,控制不住自己的感情,就像一個瘋子發(fā)瘋那么激動,由此引申出“生氣”這個意思。那么它的用法是:be mad at somebody 生某人的氣 be mad about something 因某事而生氣 be mad at somebody about something 因某事而生某人的氣。Angry 和 mad 這兩個詞表達“發(fā)火,生氣”的程度基本上是一樣的。
[視野拓展] 哎呀,怎么現(xiàn)在說到angry呢。今天呀,Juliet可真是禍不單行,一整天都在angry中,頭都要氣炸了。為何呢?聽我慢慢道來。

I am so unlucky today!Nevertheless, it was fine that when I felt my anger mounting, I kept perfect control of myself. 但是呢,還好的是當我感到自己怒火上升的時候,我還是很好控制住了自己。And now I am all right. So , I'm glad to send you much more phrases to express your anger and you mirght as well make a sentence using every phrase to describe your life. That is the right and effective way to improve your conversational English. 我很高興在贈送大家更多的表達生氣的片語,您不妨也用每一個片語來描述您生活中發(fā)生了的使您生氣的事情。這是很有效的正確的提高英語口語的途徑。我們來看看還有那些呢?They are as follows: see red, hit the ceiling, be pissed off , get one's goat, lose one's rag , and so on.
