📖 基本释义
[adjective] feeling or showing anger or annoyance at what is perceived as unfair treatment
[形容词] 对被认为是不公平的待遇感到或表现出愤怒或恼怒的
💡 深入解读
Indignant 是一个容易与 indigent (贫穷的)、indigenous(本土的、本地的、当地的、土生土长的) 、 indignity (侮辱、轻蔑、侮辱性言行)等相混淆的单词,可以一并联想记忆。从词源上来看, indignant 源自拉丁语indignus(不值得的),16世纪80年代由拉丁语indignari(感到不高兴、被冒犯、怨恨、认为不值得)的过去分词indignantem(不耐烦的、不情愿的、愤怒的)进入英语,即用来表示“愤慨的、愤怒的、义愤的”,主要指因错误、不公正或不值得的事情而感到或表现出愤怒或恼怒的,强调愤怒是充分正当、正义或有理有据的
be righteously indignant over such meanness对如此的卑劣深感义愤
She coaxed the deeply indignant customer into good humour.她把那怒不可遏的顾客哄得高高兴兴。
