校園英語口語習慣用語 第199期:make someone's blood boil

make someone's blood boil 使人大爲惱火

【講解】

這條習語用來形容一個人的氣憤程度,氣憤得幾乎到了“血液要沸騰起來”的地步。但要注意:我們常說的“熱血沸騰”是比喻爲正義 業而獻身的熱悄，而英語中的make someone's blood boil 則指“氣憤已極”。

【對話】

A:What happened yesterday? There seemed to be a din.

A:昨天怎麼了？好像挺吵的。

B:One of my roommates came back with several shady-looking guys. They kicked up a din in the dorm. I couldn'tput up with that.

A:So they got on your nerves?

A:他們吵着你了？

B:They made my blood boil. I was so angry with them.

B:我大爲惱火，真是太令人生氣了！
