upset 的用法

當你說每一件事情都set好了,就很順了。如果有什麼事情被upset,就有點像是被弄亂了,變得很不順或很煩。用來表達心情,就是有「傷心、不順心、生氣」的意思。

Upset 可以當名詞,也可以當動詞。但它最常用的是形容詞。所以我們今天就來解釋它當形容詞的用法。

會跟它搭配的動詞為:appear, be, feel, look, sound become, get,例如Don’t get upset about it. 或用remain leave sb, make sb來接,例如The news had made left him deeply frustrated and upset.

從上面例如,可以看到我們還使用了一些副詞,例如deeply。可以用來形容程度的副詞還有很多,常用的有badly, bitterly, desperately, genuinely, greatly, profoundly。

如果要表達「對」什麼事或人感到生氣,可以加的介系詞為:

對某事感到很煩或很生氣,用upset about / at 事情,例如He was upset about the decision. They were upset at losing the game.

某事物使某人感到很煩或很生氣,用upset by 事物,有被動語氣的口吻,例如Mary was upset by the death of her cat.

對某人感到很upset,用upset with,例如She looks like she is upset with you.
