地道表达
burn sb. up
1. 地道表达
Burn是“燃烧,烧着”的意思,burn up可以作为“燃起来,旺起来”解,而burn sb up的字面意思是“把某人点燃了”,引申为“使得某人发怒”。给惹怒的对方的怒气程度要比angry,mad这些词语要强烈。
2. 例句
e.g. That would just burn me up. Isn\'t that the worst, having somebody talk behind your back?
如果换我的话,那简直会气炸的。世界上难道还有比人家在您背后造谣生事还恶劣的事吗?
e.g. It\'s those little things left undone that would burn me up if I knew that my hours were limited.
假如我知道我的时间不多了,那些没来得及做的小事会让我恼火。
