你肚子很餓,跑去飯館吃飯,可點完菜半天也不見有菜上桌。這時候,你是不是又氣又餓?很想發火?在英語里,這樣的狀態可以用hangry來表示。
Hangry describes the situation when you are so hungry that your lack of food causes you to become angry, frustrated or both.
Hangry指很餓但是又沒有東西可吃的時候感到的氣憤和沮喪情緒,簡稱為“餓極成怒”。
Hangry is a blend of hungry and angry invented to describe the feeling you get when you are out at a restaurant, starving to death, and have been waiting over an hour to get the meal that you have ordered.
Hangry一詞是hungry(饑餓)和angry(生氣)兩個詞的合成詞,當你到飯館吃飯,本來已經饑腸轆轆,可點完菜一個小時才上菜,這時候你的狀態用這個詞來描述就會合適了。
