说明
cross/angry
核心问题
The writer looked at the man and the woman angrily. He was very ____. A. sad B. unhappy C. cross D. pleased 我选了 B, 对吗?
词典解答
选 B 是错误的。因为 unhappy(“愁苦的”“不快乐的”)与 angry 的意义相去太远。这里只有选项 C(cross)与 angry 词义相近。cross 除用作名词(“十字形记号”“十字架”)和动词(“穿过”“越过”)之外,还可用作形容词(“愤怒的”“生气的”)。它和 angry 的区别仅仅在于:cross 用于非正式语体,而 angry 用于正式语体:
-
I was really cross with her for leaving me with all the work. 她把所有工作都留给我，我真地对她非常生气。
-
She is very cross today; she complains about everything. 她今天脾气很坏,对什么事情都抱怨个不停。
