易错句子She seethed frustration at the unfair treatment.
正确表达She seethed with frustration at the unfair treatment.
seethe是不及物动词,不能直接接宾语;表达“因……而气愤”时,需用seethe with + 情绪名词。
grammar · medium
易错句子He was seethed at the criticism.
正确表达He was seething at the criticism.
表示某人正处在愤怒状态时,应用现在分词seething(进行时),不能用过去分词seethed;seethed并不用作描述人情绪的形容词。
义项:内心激愤、暗自生气。calm down 指从愤怒或激动中恢复平静,与 seethe 的‘强忍怒火’相对。
义项:暗自生气。cool down 也是动词短语,强调怒气消退,可与 calm down 互换。
义项:暗自生气。simmer down 为口语习语,本义是‘用文火煮’,转指怒气逐渐平息,与 seethe 同一比喻域。
义项:暗自生气。compose oneself 为正式表达,指主动调节情绪恢复镇定,与 seethe 所表达的压抑怒火相对。
两者在“液体受热”和“人发怒”两方面都易混。seethe 指液体剧烈沸腾、人怒火翻涌;simmer 指低于沸点的文火慢煮、人心里有火但勉强压住,程度较轻。
都形容压抑的愤怒,但形象不同:seethe 像沸腾的水,怒气强烈翻涌、近于爆发;smolder 像没有明火的暗火,闷在心底持续郁积。二者都偏书面,更多见于文学描写(英式拼作 smoulder)。
都可用来说“某处挤满人”,但 seethe 带骚动、愤怒或不安的气氛,teem 只客观表示数量多、拥挤热闹;teem 常作 teem with,主语多为地点,不含情感色彩。
