正确表达We had a miff yesterday over the bill.
miff 是可数名词，指“一次小争吵”，单数形式作宾语时必须有不定冠词 a；汉语说“吵了一架”并不靠冠词表示“一次”，所以直译时容易漏掉。

表示“处于被冒犯、生气的状态”时，miff 是名词，不能像形容词那样直接跟在系动词后作表语，要用介词短语 in a miff 来担任表语。
意思与 miff 的“小争吵”义几乎相同，但 tiff 只指口角这件事本身，不指“被冒犯的状态”；tiff 更常用于恋人、朋友之间无关紧要的拌嘴。
spat 指短促、无关紧要的争执，常与 over 或 about 搭配；miff 还能表示被冒犯后的不悦心情，spat 没有这一含义。
huff 指生气、赌气的情绪或发作，常作 in a huff，对应 miff 的“被冒犯状态”，但它不能指“口角”这一事件。
