今天我们要给大家介绍两个表示非常生气的习惯用语。你有没有因为十分生气而对别人大发雷霆？美国人有一个说法是形容这种情绪的，那就是：to give someone a piece of one's mind。To give someone a piece of one's mind并不是把自己的聪敏才智分给别人一点。To give someone a piece of one's mind是指对某人大发雷霆。
例如，一个人开汽车出门，在路上一个开车不守规则、横冲乱闯的人把他弄得很紧张，差点儿没出事。他回到家还在生气，于是他对家里的人说：
例句-1: "This stupid idiot passed me on the left, then cut in ahead of me so close I had to jam on the brakes to keep from hitting him. When I caught up with him at the stoplight, I rolled down my window, and boy, did I give him a piece of my mind."
下面这个例子是一个公司经理对他的办公室主任不满，他说：
例句-2: "Today I'll give my business manager a piece of my mind. I'm tired of him coming in an hour late every day. I'll tell him to be here on time or look for a job some place else."
在美国口语里有一些表示生气的习惯用语都是由tell这个字组成的。其中美国人最常用的一个就是：to tell someone off。To tell someone off也是表示生气，但是也包含一些拒绝某人要求的意思，例如：
例句-3: "My brother-in-law borrowed $200 from me six months ago and never paid me back. So when he tried to borrow another $200 last night, I certainly told him off."
在美国许多地方，汽车是生活不可缺少的一个工具。汽车也确实给人们提供许多方便，很多人说，有了汽车就好像长了翅膀，想上那儿就上那儿。可是，一旦汽车出了毛病那就麻烦了，因为大多数车行要价很高，有的还欺诈顾客。下面就是一个例子：
例句-4: "Can you believe this mechanic charged $800 to fix my car and it runs worse than it did before. Tomorrow I'll go back to tell him off: I'll make his ears burn for a week!"
