| 单词 | 坏脾气 |
| 释义 | 〔sour〕Bad-tempered and morose; peevish:坏脾气的：脾气坏的及孤僻的；易怒的：〔ugly〕The standard sense of the adjectiveugly becomes figurative in the common expression an ugly temper. Regional American speech shares this figurative sense and makes it even more specific.In New Englandugly as applied to animals, especially large farm animals such as cows and horses, means "balky, hard to manage.”In the South, on the other hand,ugly with the specific sense of "rude" is used of persons: Don't be ugly, son. Interestingly, the wordclever (senses 4 through 6) follows the same regional pattern as ugly : in New England the specialized senses refer to animals; in the South, to persons.形容词ugly 的标准的意思在的表达 坏脾气 中变得借喻性了。 美国的地区性语言中都有这种比喻性意义并且使它更加具体化。在新英格兰ugly 被用于动物， 尤其是大型的家畜，如奶牛和马，其意思是“不好，很难控制”。在南部，另一方面，ugly 被用于人的具体意思为“粗鲁的”： 孩子，不要那么粗鲁。 有意思的是，单词clever （释义4到6）有着和 ugly 一样地方性形式： 在新英格兰，特指的意思用于动物；在南方用于人〔crab〕A quarrelsome, ill-tempered person.爱争吵的人，坏脾气的人〔ugly〕an ugly temper; an ugly scene.坏脾气；令人不快的场面〔mood〕An incidence of sulking or angry behavior.愠怒，坏脾气：愠怒或生气行为的发生〔gremlin〕Perhaps blend of Irish gruaimín [bad-tempered little fellow] from Middle Irish gruaim [gloom, surliness] 可能混合了 爱尔兰语 gruaimín [坏脾气的小家伙] 源自 中古爱尔兰语 gruaim [阴暗的、阴沉的] 〔bile〕Bitterness of temper; ill humor; irascibility.暴躁，坏脾气：脾气暴烈；粗暴的脾性；易怒〔bicker〕To engage in a petty, bad-tempered quarrel; squabble.See Synonyms at argue 发生口角：因坏脾气引起的小的争吵；为琐事争吵 参见 argue〔gremlin〕Elves, goblins, and trolls seem to be the timeless creations of the distant past,but gremlins were born in the 20th century.In fact,gremlin is first recorded only in the 1920's, as a Royal Air Force term for a low-ranking officer or enlisted man saddled with oppressive assignments. Said to have been invented by members of the Royal Naval Air Service in World War I,gremlin is used in works written in the 1940's for "an imaginary gnomelike creature who causes difficulties in aircraft.”The word seems likely to have been influenced bygoblin, but accounts of its origin are various and none are certain.One source calls in Fremlin beer bottles to explain the word;another, the Irish Gaelic wordgruaimín, "ill-humored little fellow.” Whatever the word's origin,it is certain that gremlins have taken on a life of their own.小精灵、小妖怪和侏儒似乎很久以前就被创造出来而且流传至今，而小妖精一词则是20世纪的产物。事实上，gremlin 在20世纪20年代首次被记录下来时为皇家空军对一个承受严酷任务的低级军官或征召者的称呼。 据说这是在第一次世界大战中由皇家空军的成员创造出来的。1904年，gremlin 被用在书面的作品中， 意为“一种想象中的在飞机上制造麻烦的小生物。”这个词看起来很有可能受了goblin 一词的影响， 但对其词源说法不一，莫衷一是。一种说法用弗来姆林啤酒瓶来解释这一词；而另一种认为爱尔兰凯尔特语词汇gruaimin 意为“坏脾气的小家伙”为其词源。 不管源自何处，有一点是肯定的，小妖精自身有其生命力〔miff〕A petulant, bad-tempered mood; a huff.发脾气，愠怒：任性、坏脾气；恼怒〔curmudgeon〕An ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions.脾气坏的人：满怀怨恨和观念顽固的坏脾气人〔pet〕A fit of bad temper or pique.发怒，一阵怒气：坏脾气或生气的发作〔bitch〕A woman considered to be spiteful or overbearing.泼妇：被认为坏脾气或专横的女人〔pettish〕Ill-tempered; peevish.坏脾气的；易怒的〔scold〕 Scold implies an annoyed or bad-tempered reproof: Scold 暗示恼怒或坏脾气： 〔peckish〕Ill-tempered; irritable.坏脾气的；易怒的〔grump〕Often grumps A fit of ill temper.
