迷你對話：

A:Tim has decided to transfer to another section.

Tim已經(jīng)決定調(diào)到另一個部門去了。

B:Do you know why?

你知道原因嗎？

A:Yeah. It is the section manager, David Wright. He’s got angry with Tim the other day and they argued for about ten minutes. Finally Mr. Wrightblew a fuse.

知道，是因為有天部門經(jīng)理David Wright生Tim的氣，然后爭執(zhí)了大概10分鐘，David Wright勃然大怒。

地道表達：

blow a fuse：勃然大怒

解詞釋義：

fuse的意思是“導(dǎo)火索”，blow有“爆炸”的意思，在口語中也有“發(fā)脾氣，發(fā)怒”的意思。兩者的結(jié)合使得該習(xí)語在“發(fā)怒”的基礎(chǔ)上更加形象地表明了“發(fā)怒”的樣子。

支持范例：

Eg.The referee was so unfair that they were about to blow a fuse.

裁判不公正，他們幾乎氣得發(fā)狂。

Eg.She blows a fuse every time she gets mad.

每次她一生氣就勃然大怒。

Eg.There's no need to blow a fuse over such a little problem.

為這么點小事沒必要發(fā)脾氣。

Eg.When the boss saw that i was late again, he was speechless with anger.I was afraid he was going to blow a fuse.
