wroth(较古/文学用语,形容词):极其愤怒的,怒火中烧的。现代英语里更常用 angry / furious。
/rθ/(英); /rθ/(美)
He was wroth when he heard the lie.
他听到那个谎言时怒不可遏。
Wroth at the betrayal, she refused to speak to anyone for days, keeping her anger tightly contained.
因背叛而怒火中烧,她好几天拒绝与任何人交谈,把怒意死死压在心里。
wroth 来自古英语 wrā,意为“愤怒的、激烈的”,与日耳曼语系中表示“愤怒/敌意”的词根有关。它在现代英语中带有明显的古典或圣经/文学风格,因此常见于庄重或带戏剧色彩的语境。
