關於憤怒的四個單詞:indignant, outrage, rage, fury. 它們的區別是什麼,用在什麼場合呢?


以下內容來自 The Merriam-Webster Dictionary of Synonyms and Antonyms:

anger, ire, rage, fury, indignation, wrath mean emotional excitement induced by intense displeasure.

Anger, the most general term, names the emotional reaction but in itself conveys nothing about intensity or manifestation of the state. &anger at their behavior&>.

Ire, more frequent in literary contexts, may suggest greater intensity than anger, often with a display of feeling. &ire&>.

Rage suggests loss of self-control from violence of emotion often with an outward display. &rage&>.

Fury implies overmastering destructive rage verging on madness. &fury she hurled abuse in all directions&>.

Indignation stresses righteous anger at what one considers unfair, mean, outrageous, or shameful. &indignation&>.

Wrath is likely to suggest rage or indignation accompanied by a desire or intent to avenge or punish. &wrath and struck his tormentor to the door&>.
