生气沮丧
Miffed
Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I’m Feifei.
大家好，欢迎来到BBC地道英语，我是菲菲。
And I’m Rob.
我是罗伯。
So, Rob, you don’t look so happy.
罗伯，你看起来不怎么开心呀。
I’m… I'm ok.
我……还好吧。
I thought you were off to a rock concert for your birthday this weekend.
我以为你这周末要去参加摇滚演唱会过生日呢。
Yeah, I was. I love rock music.
是的，我要去，我喜欢摇滚。
Oh. What happened?
哦，那怎么了？
Well, I booked my ticket a month ago. It wasn’t cheap.
我一个月前就订票了，还挺贵的。
Three of my friends said they were coming too. But they just told me they forgot to book the tickets, and now there are none left.
我的三个朋友也说他们要去，结果他们告诉我忘记订票了，现在已经没票了。
What a pain. I’m sorry.
太遗憾了，真抱歉。
Yeah, I’m a bit 'miffed'.
是啊，我感觉有点“miffed”。
I’m not surprised. Err, Rob, sorry to mention this while you’re feeling upset…
我想也是。呃，罗伯，真抱歉在你不开心的时候提到这个事。
Yes…?
是吗？
Do you mind if I use ‘miffed’ as our word today?
我们今天就讲“miffed”这个词吧，你介意吗？
Yeah, OK then.
好吧。
OK, so as you might have worked out, to feel ‘miffed’ is to feel frustrated or annoyed, usually because of the behaviour of other people.
你们可能已经知道了，“miffed”是指感觉很沮丧或恼怒，通常是因为别人的举动。
It’s what Rob is feeling right now, because his friends didn’t book tickets to a concert with him.
罗伯现在就是这种感觉，因为他的朋友没有订到一起去看演唱会的票。
Let’s just give him a minute, while we listen to these examples.
我们给他一些时间吧，顺便一起听听这些例句。
You know what? I’ve been working really late all week to finish this proposal, but my boss hasn’t said a word of thanks. Yeah, you could say I’m pretty miffed.
你知道吗？整整一周我都在加班做这个提案，结果老板一句感谢的话都没说。可以说我现在非常恼火。
Laura met this guy on holiday. She told me he was really special, and that they seemed serious about each other. But he hasn’t called in weeks. She’s really miffed about it.
劳拉度假的时候遇到了一个男人，她跟我说这个男人非常特别，他们对彼此也非常认真。结果这个男人已经几周没联系她了，她现在非常生气沮丧。
You’d think that when you order a vegetarian pizza, it would come without meat. No wonder Martin was miffed when it arrived with ham on it.
你可以想象如果自己点了一份蔬菜披萨，那么就不会有肉了。结果披萨送到的时候上面还有火腿，可想而知马丁肯定特别不开心。
This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English. So, feeling any better yet, Rob?

Well, I just got a message. Get this - apparently my friends were joking.
嗯，我刚收到一条短信。你看——看来我的朋友们是在开玩笑。
Err, I knew.
呃，我知道。
What?
什么？
Well, I told them to say that, so we had the opportunity to talk about ‘miffed’.
是我让他们这么说的，这样我们就有机会讲“miffed”这个词了。
