【mad about 为……生气】

mad about 有两个主要意义，一个是上面对话中所表现出的“生气”，另一个是“沉迷、热衷于”。例如：

I guess they're mad about the performance of their baseball players.

我猜他们是为了他们的棒球员表现而气愤不已。

Rose is quite mad about Andy.

萝丝相当着迷于安迪。

A: Did you say Jack wasn't mad about our spending more than 100 dollars of his money?

你是说杰克没有为了我们花掉他一百多块钱而生气吗？

B: Right. Because Jack is mad about you. Aren't you aware of that?

对的，因为杰克爱慕你。你没有感觉到吗？

换句话说，“mad about+人”是“着迷、爱慕某人”“mad with+人”才是“生某人的气”。例如：

She has been mad with me for a week.

她气我已经气一个星期了。

1) back off 退后

2) spray (n.) 喷雾器

3) apologize (v.) 道歉
