:英语学习中,我们有时候会把一些词搞混,我们要注意这点,下面我们一起看看这篇《mood和temper别搞混》。
Words often confused 易混词辨析
I don't feel in the (mood)(temper) for a walk.
Whatever you do, don't lose your (temper)(mood).
为什么第一句选mood,第二句选temper呢?
(来自《新概念英语第三册》第5页,Pre-Unit Test中的Special difficulties板块)
① temper可以指“脾气”、“性情”,mood则不可以:This time, the policeman lost his temper.
这一次警察火了/发脾气了。
The boss is in a temper today.
老板今天脾气不好。
② temper指“心情”、“情绪”时,与mood同义:That morning George was in a good mood/temper.
那天上午,乔治心情好。
但是bad mood与bad temper稍有区别,bad temper是指a persisting angry mood:When he is in a bad temper, he gets angry easily. But when he is in a bad mood, he likes to sit alone.
当他脾气不好时,他很容易生气。但当他心情不好时,他喜欢独自坐着。
③ mood可以表示“有意/想要(做某事)”,temper则不可以:At that time I was not in the mood for talking/to talk.
当时我没有心情/不想说话。
根据第③点可以判断第一句选择mood,feel/be in the mood for:想要做某事。
根据第①点可以判断第二句选择temper,lose one's temper:发脾气。
