今日短語
我們可以用 wind up 這個搭配來描述給鐘表上緊發(fā)條的動作。但如果發(fā)條擰得太緊，鐘表里的彈簧就會崩開。英語中有一個被用來形容類似情形的表達，當你 wind someone up 時，就是說你一點點地捉弄某人，直到這個人無法忍受，終于惱羞成怒。如果你變得既焦慮又生氣時，就可以用搭配 wound up，這種狀態(tài)可能是由他人的玩笑引起的，也可能是你自己的行為所造成的。注意，這是一個日常的非正式表達。
例句

It winds my brother up if I put my feet up on his coffee table. So I always put my feet up on his coffee table.

表達 wind something up 的意思是“終止”，它具體指使某件事情結束，也可以指關閉企業(yè)或機構。
