如何表达郁积的愤懑?
南京的读者应该对这幅图片见怪不怪。近日,南京首家泄愤吧在升州路某夜总会开业,图片中,郁闷美眉正对泄愤模特拳打脚踢,以发泄心头郁积的愤懑。
请详看图片说明:
A customer (R) attacks a staff member at the Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing,capital of east China's Jiangsu province August 7,2006.
Stressed-out Chinese can now unleash pent-up anger at a bar that lets customers attack staff,smash glasses and generally make a ruckus,a Chinese newspaper reported on Monday. The Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing employs 20 muscled young men as models for customers to punch and scream at.
随着生活节奏加快、工作竞争压力增大,人们心头的郁闷也是越积越多,pent-up anger恰到好处地形容了郁积在高压之下的愤懑。
Pent-up(压抑的)由动词词组pen up衍生而来,pent是pen的过去分词。Pen除了表达钢笔外,还可用来形容栅栏;把关起来,如The desire to travel has been pent up for the last two years.(近两年来,心中老是憋着想出门旅行的念头)。
另外,pent-up常用来形容emotion(情感)、love(爱)、hatred(仇恨)等情感名词,而释放、发泄这些情感则常用release,unleash等动词来表达。
