很多同學在學習英文的時候,常常會搞不清楚 angry 和 furious 這兩個字的差別。其實,它們都代表『生氣』的意思,但 furious 比 angry 更強烈,程度也更深。Angry 指的是一般的生氣,是一種比較輕微的情緒;而 furious 則代表非常生氣,甚至到了暴怒的程度。
讓我們來看一些例句:
He was angry because he lost his phone. (他因為弄丟手機而生氣。)
She was furious when she found out he had lied to her. (當她發現他對她說謊時,她非常生氣。)
I am angry that he broke my favorite vase. (我很生氣他打破了我最喜歡的的花瓶。)
The teacher was furious that the students were talking during the test. (老師非常生氣學生考試時聊天。)
從上面的例句可以看出,angry 通常用於描述一般的生氣情緒,而 furious 則用於描述非常強烈、難以控制的憤怒情緒。下次用字的時候,記得仔細分辨喔!
Happy learning!
