英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)練習(xí)小對(duì)話 第114期:生氣厭倦

迷你對(duì)話：
A: What did you think of his speech?
你認(rèn)為他的發(fā)言怎么樣?
B: I was brown off with his boring jokes.
我煩透了他那些無(wú)聊的笑話。
A: Maybe he thought himself very humorous.
也許他認(rèn)為自己很幽默吧。
地道表達(dá)：
brown off：沮喪，生氣，厭煩
解詞釋義：
Brown作為動(dòng)詞，意思是“使......變成棕色，尤其是指日曬或烘烤”。Brown off是英國(guó)俚語(yǔ)，一般用于描繪沮喪的情緒，意為“對(duì)......失去興趣且變得很生氣”。同樣地，習(xí)語(yǔ)browned off常用來(lái)指“生氣的”或“厭煩的”，它一般在句中做表語(yǔ)。

Eg. All this sane old tune really brown me off.
