See red 是什么意思?勃然大怒,不是 in the red

See red 表示突然非常愤怒。Make me see red 中不能加 to;看起来相近的 in the red 却是在说亏损或负债。

See red 表示突然极其愤怒,可能因粗鲁、不公或物品被损坏而短暂失去冷静。它在 IELTS Speaking 中很生动,作文里可用 become furious。

什么情境适合说 see red?

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

see red (when/if + clause); make someone see red; saw red (past)

  • I see red when people jump the queue at the supermarket.
  • My dad saw red when he found a scratch on his new car.
  • Rude comments about my accent really make me see red.

修改原因

修改前People who talk on the phone during a film make me to see red.

修改后People who talk on the phone during a film make me see red.

Make 表示使、迫使时,后面的动词不带 to:make me laugh、make me see red。因为 force me to、ask me to 有 to,容易把它也加到这里。修改删掉了多余的 to。

Cambridge Dictionary

Be in the red 看起来相近,但意思不同,指财务上负债或支出超过收入:The shop has been in the red since March。这里 see red 表达愤怒,in the red 则涉及钱。

When the builder said the kitchen would cost twice the price he'd promised, my husband ___ and started shouting.

(saw red / felt blue)

查看答案

saw red — 建筑工人把报价翻倍,丈夫随即大喊,语境明确表现愤怒,所以选 saw red。Felt blue 表示难过,没有准确表达这里突发的怒气。

想一个让你非常生气的情境,可以发生在公共交通、商店或工作中。说明发生了什么,以及你接下来怎样做。
