大家好，欢迎来到 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目。我是冯菲菲。

Rob
And I’m Rob.

Feifei
你怎么看着闷闷不乐的？

Rob
I’m… I’m ok.

Feifei
I thought you were off to a rock concert for your birthday this weekend?

Rob
Yeah, I was. I love rock music.

Feifei
那这是怎么了？

Rob
Well, I booked my ticket a month ago. It wasn’t cheap. Three of my friends said they were coming too. But they just told me they forgot to book tickets, and now there are none left. 

Feifei
Oh, what a pain. I’m sorry. 

Rob
Yeah, I’m a bit miffed.

Feifei
I’m not surprised. Err, Rob, sorry to mention this while you’re feeling upset…

Rob
Yes…?

Feifei
Do you mind if I use ‘miffed’ as our word today?

Rob
Yeah, OK then. 

Feifei
我来给大家讲讲形容词 “miffed” 的用法。这个词可以形容我们因他人的行为而感到生气、恼火。Rob 现在正因为他的朋友们忘了订去看演唱会的票而很是恼火。Let’s just give Rob a minute, while we listen to these examples.

Examples     
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.

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.

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!

这里是 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》。本集节目里教给大家的表达是 “miffed”，它用来形容人生气、恼火。So, feeling any better yet, Rob?

Rob
Well, I just got a message. Get this: apparently my friends were joking.

Feifei
我知道他们是在和你开玩笑。

Rob
What?

Feifei
是我让他们这么说的，这样我们就能借机给大家说说 “miffed” 这个词。

Rob
Seriously?

Feifei
Yeah, you don’t mind, do you?

Rob
Of course I mind. You made me feel, well… miffed!

Feifei
Sorry about that.

Rob
And I’m miffed with you now!

Feifei
Rob, you know what?

Rob
What? 

Feifei
I got a ticket too. It is your birthday after all, I wouldn’t miss it!

Rob
Really? OK, all is forgiven!

Feifei
Bye. 

Rob
Byebye.
