《KUSO英文小辭典》He is in a cranky mood. 他奇檬子不好

當有人跟你說他今天「奇蒙子」（日文心情、感受kimochi諧音）不好，指的是他心情不好。英文怎麼說？你可以用cranky（脾氣壞的；易激怒的）、grouchy（愛抱怨的；不高興的）或grumpy（性情乖戾的），這些發音聽起來就不怎麼「奇蒙子」的字：He’s in a cranky mood today. He is in a grouchy mood today. He is in a grumpy mood today. 都是說某人今天心情不佳。此外也可直說：He is in a bad mood today. He is not in a good mood today.

例句：

A：What’s with Lisa? She gave me that face and even swore at me!

請繼續往下閱讀...

B：She’s in a cranky mood today. You’d better stay away from her.

A：麗莎怎麼了？為什麼給我一張大便臉，還對我罵髒話？

B：她今天「奇蒙子」不好。你最好離她遠一點。
