be angry with后面偶尔也可接what从句,这在意思上与be angry at what...有细微差别:at表示原因,所以be angry at what...强调“因…而生气”; 而with表示“同…在一起”,所以be angry with what...强调导致生气的原因(即what...)仍留在主体的脑海中,即“还在为…而生气”。例如: She was angry at what I said. 我说的话使她生气。 She was angry with what I said. 她还在为我说的话生气。
angry, furious, indignant, raging
这组形容词在语义上的差异与相应的名词相同,参见anger条。
angry, annoyed, mad
这组词的差别主要在程度上:annoyed语气较弱,只是烦恼,不见得气愤; 而mad表示的感情则比angry更强烈。例如: He was annoyed to learn that the train would be delayed.他听说火车要误点,心里很烦恼。 She seemed to be very mad at him.她似乎对他非常恼火。 另外, mad主要与at, about连用,而较少与with连用。
