Mardy 煩躁易怒
內(nèi)容簡介
Rob 不知道菲菲為什么拉著個臉，看上去十分煩躁。但菲菲說自己并沒有悶悶不樂，只是為了配合節(jié)目中要講的內(nèi)容而 “進(jìn)入狀態(tài)” 罷了。通過聽 Rob 和菲菲的對話，學(xué)習(xí)如何在日常會話中恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂眯稳菰~ “mardy”。

Feifei
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English. 大家好，我是馮菲菲。
Rob
And hi, I'm Rob. Hey Feifei, why the long face?
Feifei
What's wrong with my face?
Rob
I mean, why are you looking so… grumpy?
Feifei
Grumpy 煩躁？
Rob
Yes… moody.
Feifei
Moody? There's nothing wrong – this is my normal face. Why are you throwing so many insults at me?
Rob
Oh come on, you do look a bit bad-tempered.
Feifei
我沒有生氣啊。But I’m getting angry now.
Rob
Ah great! Then I can describe you as 'mardy'.
Feifei
Mardy? I hope that's not another insult.
Rob
It's not an insult – but 'mardy' does describe someone who is in a bad mood, moans a lot and gets annoyed easily. So, thanks for demonstrating that, Feifei!
Feifei
My pleasure! 在英式英語里，形容詞 “mardy” 可以用來描述一個人總是拉著個臉，好像大家都欠他似的，并且煩躁易怒。That's not me! Let's hear some examples.
Examples
There are no desks for Pedro to work at today so he has to sit on the sofa - no wonder he's so mardy.
My boyriend is always so mardy – nothing seems to please him. Maybe I shouldn't have come home drunk last night!
Steer clear of me today. I only had four hours' sleep last night and I'm really mardy today.
Feifei
這里是 BBC 英語教學(xué)的《地道英語》節(jié)目。這集節(jié)目里教給大家的形容詞 “mardy” 可以用來描述一個人拉著個臉，抱怨周遭的一切，非常情緒化、郁郁寡歡的樣子。As I was saying, Rob, I am not mardy!
Rob
Hmm, if you say so, Feifei.
Feifei
But I know something to make you mardy.
Rob
Oh yes?
Feifei
You're going to have to record this programme again.
Rob
What? Again? Why?
Feifei
因?yàn)槟阃私忉?“mardy” 可以形容人悶悶不樂 sulky，或脾氣暴躁 grumpy。
Rob
Hmm, you're just being awkward. I am not going to start this programme again – I'm too busy. I'm off to get a coffee. Goodbye!
Feifei
Ha. Who's mardy now? Or is he just acting? Bye.
