我们听两个例子。先说话的是个学生,刚拿到了发回来的英语课作文,正对自己得到的评分大发脾气:
例句-1:Look at this! I spent days on this paper and even paid a graduate student to help me, and this stupid professor gives me a 'D'! Man. I'll flip out if I can't get at least a 'C' in this course.
他说:瞧瞧这个!我在这篇文章上花了几天时间,甚至还花钱雇了位研究生来帮我,而这个笨蛋教授竟然让我得'D'! 哼,我这门功课至少要拿个'C',要不,我会闹翻天。
这里的习惯用语flip out意思就是怒不可遏地吵闹。
******
当一个人flip out或者flip his lid, 他甚至会愤怒得仿佛失去了理智。我们再听个例子,这段话在说Mickey有一天走出家门发现他的汽车竟然被偷走了。这下他可真是暴跳如雷了:
例句-2:Did you see Mickey when he saw his car was gone? He totally flipped out - he was hopping around like a crazy man, screaming and yelling out in the middle of the street.
他说:你见到Mickey发现自己丢车时的那模样吗?他简直是失去理智了- 在大街中心象疯子似地暴跳如雷、尖声喊叫。
这里的flip out意思还是激怒得几乎失去理智
