比 angry 更好用的生气表达！十个人有九个不知道！形象！

⬇️

以前看过一部很有意思的皮克斯电影，叫作《头脑特工队》。

它讲述了小女孩莱利，因为爸爸的工作变动而搬到旧金山，她的生活受头脑中的5位情绪小人所掌控的故事。

莱利脑海里的5个小人分别是：Joy、Sadness、Anger、Disgust 和 Fear，代表着人体内最常见的5种情绪，小女孩的主人格是 Joy，因而日常生活中的她总是一个乐天派。

但这并不代表她没有悲伤和愤怒，她也有对突然远离老家和朋友的不舍。

一次意外，她情绪中的 Joy 和 Sadness 走失了，其他的三个小人开始乱作一团，主导她的情绪。这段时间的莱利变得消沉又暴躁......因此而引发了一系列既闹腾又治愈的故事。

你有没有像莱利这样沮丧而易怒的经历呢？总是被负面情绪支配，就好象你脑海中的“快乐”也走失了一样。如果有的话，不妨在评论区倾诉一下~

今天，我们就一起跟着 外教 Colin 老师 和 Cecilia老师来聊聊“生气”这个话题，并学习有关的英语表达吧⬇️
