你肚子很饿,跑去饭馆吃饭,可点完菜半天也不见有菜上桌。这时候,你是不是又气又饿?很想发火?在英语里,这样的状态可以用hangry来表示。
Hangry describes the situation when you are so hungry that your lack of food causes you to become angry, frustrated or both.
Hangry指很饿但是又没有东西可吃的时候感到的气愤和沮丧情绪,简称为“饿极成怒”。
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一词是hungry(饥饿)和angry(生气)两个词的合成词,当你到饭馆吃饭,本来已经饥肠辘辘,可点完菜一个小时才上菜,这时候你的状态用这个词来描述就会合适了。
