单词 | 激怒 |
释义 | 〔aggravate〕It is sometimes claimed thataggravate should be used only to mean "to make worse" and not "to irritate.” Based on this view it would be appropriate to sayThe endless wait for luggage aggravates the misery of modern air travel, but not It's the endless wait for luggage that aggravates me the most. But the latter use dates back as far as the 17th century and is accepted by 68 percent of the Usage Panel. As H.W. Fowler wrote, "the extension from aggravating a person's temper to aggravating the person himself is slight and natural,and when we are told that Wackford Squeers [in Dickens'sNicholas Nickleby ] pinched the boys in aggravating places we may reasonably infer that his choice of places aggravated both the pinches and the boys.”有时认为aggravate 应当只被用来表示“加重;使恶化”的意思而不表示“使恼火;激怒”。 根据这种观点,The endless wait for luggage aggravates the misery of modern air travel(无休止地等待行李加重了现代飞机旅行的困难) 这个句子是正确的,而 It's the endless wait for luggage that aggravates me the most(无休止地等待行李最为令我恼火) 这一句则不正确。 但是后一种用法可以追溯到17世纪,并且被百分之六十八的用法使用小组成员所接受。正如H·W·福勒写道,“从使一个人的脾气变得更坏到使一个人恼火的延伸是微小和自然的,当我们看到威克福特·斯贵尔斯[出自狄更斯的小说尼古拉斯·尼克尔贝 ]往令人恼火的地方拧孩子们时, 我们可以合理地推断出他所选择的地方既加剧了拧的疼痛又令孩子们大为恼火。”〔paroxysm〕from paroxunein [to stimulate, irritate] 源自 paroxunein [刺激,激怒] 〔rile〕To stir to anger.See Synonyms at annoy 激怒 参见 annoy〔rub〕His laziness was beginning to rub me.他的懒惰开始激怒我〔jangle〕To grate on or jar (the nerves).激怒或刺激(人的神经)〔irritate〕To rouse to impatience or anger; annoy:激怒:激起不耐烦或愤怒;使恼恨:〔exasperation〕The state of being exasperated; frustrated annoyance.恼怒,激怒:被激怒的状态;因受挫而激起的恼怒〔anger〕To make angry; enrage or provoke.使发怒;激怒,怨恨〔angry〕Feeling or showing anger; incensed or enraged:生气的:感觉到或表现出怒气的;发怒的或激怒的:〔taunt〕To drive or incite (a person) by taunting.通过奚落来刺激或激怒(某人)〔galling〕Causing extreme irritation or chagrin; vexing:使懊恼,使困惑:使人极激怒的或懊恼的;使烦恼的、困惑的:〔hat〕At the slightest pretext or provocation.以很小的事为借口或因很小的事而激怒〔death〕Execution.气坏,伤透:压制或激怒(某人)到无法忍耐的程度〔exasperate〕To make very angry or impatient; annoy greatly.激怒:使生气或不耐烦;非常令人恼怒〔pique〕French [a prick, irritation] 法语 [刺,激怒] 〔provocation〕The act of provoking or inciting.激怒:挑衅或煽动的行动〔petulant〕Unreasonably irritable or ill-tempered; peevish.任性的,脾气坏的:无理由地激怒的或发脾气的;易怒的〔rub〕"One can see . . . how[his] expression of his ideals and intentions must have rubbed many people the wrong way" (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt)“能够看出…[他的] 观念与意图的表达是如何激怒许多人的” (克里斯托弗·莱曼——豪普特)〔aggravate〕To rouse to exasperation or anger; provoke.See Synonyms at annoy 使恼火;激怒:激起愤怒或恼怒;煽动 参见 annoy〔spite〕He did it just to spite her.他那样做只是为了激怒她〔exercise〕To stir to anger or alarm; upset:激怒:使愤怒或警觉;使不安:〔combust〕riots that are combusting whole provinces.激怒全省的暴动〔Woollcott〕American drama critic and journalist whose collections of essays includeWhile Rome Burns (1934) and Long, Long Ago (1943). 伍尔科特,亚历山大:(1887-1943) 美国戏剧评论家和记者,其杂文全集包括《罗马激怒之时》 (1934年)和 《很久、很久以前》 (1943年) 〔infuriate〕Latin furiāre [to enrage] from furia [fury] * see fury 拉丁语 furiāre [激怒] 源自 furia [愤怒] * 参见 fury〔calm〕Not excited or agitated; composed:镇静的,沉着的:未激动或未激怒的;安定的:〔grate〕To irritate or annoy persistently.使气恼:不断地激怒或烦扰〔harass〕 Harass andharry imply systematic persecution by besieging with repeated annoyances, threats, demands, or misfortunes: Harass 和harry 意指通过反复的激怒、威胁、命令或不幸来包围而进行的有组织的困扰: 〔tick〕To make angry or annoyed:激怒:使恼怒或气愤:〔irritability〕The quality or state of being irritable; testiness or petulance.激怒:激怒的性质或状态;烦躁或生气〔haze〕from obsolete French haser [to annoy] 源自 已废法语 haser [激怒] 〔toss〕To disturb or agitate; upset.打扰或激怒;惹恼〔inflammable〕Quickly or easily aroused to strong emotion; excitable.易怒的:很快或很容易就能被激起强烈感情的;可激怒的〔bother〕To disturb or anger, especially by minor irritations; annoy.See Synonyms at annoy 烦扰,激怒:打扰或激怒,尤指通过令人烦躁的小事;打搅 参见 annoy〔stir〕from Old English styrian [to excite, agitate] 源自 古英语 styrian [刺激,激怒] 〔incense〕To cause to be extremely angry; infuriate.使…极愤怒;激怒〔bristly〕Tending to react with agitation or anger; belligerent:易怒的,好斗的:倾向于以激怒或愤怒反应的;好战的:〔nettle〕To irritate; vex.刺激:使烦恼;激怒〔harass〕To irritate or torment persistently.不断地激怒或折磨〔huff〕A fit of anger or annoyance; a pique:激怒:一阵恼怒或烦恼;生气:〔hackle〕To be extremely insulted or irritated.被强烈地侮辱或激怒 |
