你还只会用angry吗？

学点新的吧~

cross：(especially British English) angry or annoyed （尤指英式）生气的，恼火的

可以说get/be cross (with somebody)：

She gets cross when he goes out drinking.

她对他出去喝酒很为恼火。

或者be cross at/about：

He was cross at being interrupted.

他对于被打断话很是生气。

pissed off: [not before noun] (informal) (not polite) annoyed, disappointed, or unhappy 【不用于名词前】（非正式）（不礼貌的说法）厌烦的，失望的，不快的

又作pissed；后面可以什么都不加，也可接with/at：

I don't know why you're so pissed off — I told you I might be late.

我不知道你为啥发这么大的火——我跟你说过我可能会迟到的。

Why are you pissed at him?

你为什么生他的气？

be on the warpath: (informal) to be angry and looking for someone to fight or punish （非正式）怒气冲冲地寻人打架；寻衅

warpath的音标是/ˈwɔrpæθ/。

I had warned children that daddy was on the warpath.

我警告过孩子们爸爸就要大发脾气了。

warpath由“war+path”组成，为什么on the warpath会是“发脾气”的意思呢？

warpath原义为“The route taken by a party of Native Americans going on a warlike expedition （美洲印第安人）出征时所走的路；征途”；引申义为“A course of action that leads to battle or hostility 敌对行动；敌对情绪”，这样也就不难理解on the warpath的意思啦！

be in a bad mood: (also be in a bad temper, British English) to feel annoyed or angry（英式又作be in a bad temper）心情不好

I had to wait two hours for the train, which really put me in a bad mood.

我得等两个小时的火车，这真让我生气。

类似地，英式用法中还有in a foul mood/temper的表达，表示“心情非常坏”：

Doyle came home from work in a foul mood.

道尔下班回到家，心情极为不好。
