地道表达

give sb fits

1. 解词释义

Fit的意思是“合适的”“适合于......的”。Fit做名词时,有一个意思是“愤怒或失望之类的情绪反应,发作”。因此,give sb fits的意思是“令某人恼怒”,其英文解释为:make someone angry。

2. 拓展例句

e.g. You got me fits because the matter like that hardly ever happened to me.

你使我生气了,在我身上几乎从没发生过这样的事情。

e.g. I don't perceive the silly smiles and grimaces that gives me fits.

e.g. He was got fits by criticizing my best friend and almost hit him.

e.g. I'm pretty thick-skinned. You're not going to give me fits.

我的脸皮很厚,你不会使我生气的。

Ps:ask somebody about something的意思是“询问某人某事”。例如:
