Mad is not usually used in this meaning in North American English; use crazy instead. * mad 为非正式用语,暗指由于极度的精神压力而行为怪异,用于真正的精神病患者意含冒犯,故用 mentally ill 代之。在美式英语中,通常不用 mad 表示此义,而用 crazy。crazy(informal ) having a mind that does not work normally指疯的、神经错乱的、有精神病的:◆A crazy old woman rented the upstairs room.一个疯老太婆租了楼上那个房间。NOTE Like mad, crazy is offensive if used to describe sb suffering from a real mental illness.与 mad 一样,crazy 用于真正的精神病患者具冒犯意。nuts[not before noun ](informal ) mad指发疯、神经错乱:◆That noise is driving me nuts!那噪音吵得我要疯了!◆You guys are nuts!你们这些家伙全疯了!batty(informal , especiallyBrE ) slightly mad, in a harmless way指疯疯癫癫的、古怪的:◆Her mum's completely batty.她妈妈完全是疯疯癫癫的。out of your mind(informal ) unable to think or behave normally, especially because of extreme shock or anxiety尤指因极度震惊或焦虑而心智失常、发疯:◆She was out of her mind with grief.她悲痛得精神失常了。(not) in your right mind(informal ) (not) mentally normal指精神(不)正常:◆No one in their right mind would choose to work there.任何一个精神正常的人都不会选择去那里工作。Patternsto be mad/crazy/nuts/out of your mind/not in your right mind to do sthto go mad/crazy/nuts/battyto drive sb mad/crazy/nuts/batty/out of their mindcompletely mad/crazy/nuts/batty/out of your mind |
