地道表達(dá)
give sb fits
1. 解詞釋義
Fit的意思是“合適的”“適合于......的”。Fit做名詞時(shí)，有一個(gè)意思是“憤怒或失望之類的情緒反應(yīng)，發(fā)作”。因此，give sb fits的意思是“令某人惱怒”，其英文解釋為：make someone angry。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. You got me fits because the matter like that hardly ever happened to me.
你使我生氣了，在我身上幾乎從沒發(fā)生過這樣的事情。
e.g. I don't perceive the silly smiles and grimaces that gives me fits.
起初我還沒理會(huì)那使我生氣的癡笑和怪相。
e.g. He was got fits by criticizing my best friend and almost hit him.
他非難我最好的朋友真使我生氣，差一點(diǎn)揍他。
e.g. I'm pretty thick-skinned. You're not going to give me fits.
我的臉皮很厚，你不會(huì)使我生氣的。
Ps：ask somebody about something的意思是“詢問某人某事”。例如：
I still feel a little embarrassed when people ask me about my new job.
當(dāng)人們問我新工作，我仍然覺得有些尷尬。
