第一，迷你對話 A: What a terrible man he is! 他這個人真過分！ B: What had happened? 怎麼了？ A: I’m just surprised when he flew off the handle and told me if I mention anything about mother he skin me Alive. 使我吃驚的是，他怒不可揭地說我如果再提到關於母親的任何事情，他就要剝了我的皮。 B: Please forgive him, you know he was shocked by the truth that mother has gone away without us. 請原諒他，你知道母親丟掉我們就走了，對他觸動很大。 A: OK, but we all have a broken heart, not just himself alone. 好吧，可是我們都很傷心，又不是他一個人。 第二，地道表達 Fly off the handle 1.解詞釋義 Fly off the handle的意思爲“失去控制”“大發雷霆”。 2.拓展例句 e.g. Honey, please don't fly off the handle. I had a little accident with the car, but it certainly wasn't my fault. 親愛的,你可別發火，我是出了一點小車禍，但是那絕不是我的錯。 e.g. Just listen to what I have to say; there is no need to fly off the handle in that way. 先聽聽我要說的話，何必有那麼大的脾氣。 e.g. I just flew off the handle when I found out what he'd done. 當我知道他做的好事時，我氣瘋了。 e.g. My wife spent all afternoon yesterday cooking a special dinner for our wedding anniversary. So she really flew off the handle when I came home three hours late. 爲了慶祝我們結婚週年,我太太化了整個下午精心烹調。可是,我昨晚晚了三個小時纔回家。她可真火了。 第三，咬文嚼字 skin alive：活剝皮，大聲斥責 e.g. Her husband will skin her alive if she comes home late. 如果她回來晚了,她丈夫就會狠狠地罵她。 e.g. He'll skin you alive for being late for five minutes. 如果你遲到5分鐘,他就會嚴厲申斥你。 be shocked by...：因.......而受到驚嚇 e.g. The people in the room were shocked by his blasphemous language. 滿屋的人都對他那侮慢的語言感到憤慨。 e.g. All right-minded people will be surely shocked by this outrage. 凡是有正義感的人都一定會對這種暴行感到震驚。 go away：離開，拋棄 e.g. I went away feeling quite satisfied with the whole matter because I had acted honorably. 我離開時對整個事情感到頗爲滿意，因爲我的行爲誠實無欺。 e.g. He went away without taking leave. 他不辭而別。 have a broken heart：傷心 e.g. I had a broken heart many times when I was younger but now I'm stronger. 年輕時我心碎過許多次，但現在我堅強多了。 e.g. She had a broken heart and went away. 她傷心欲絕，然後離開了。
