【mad about 為……生氣】
mad about 有兩個(gè)主要意義，一個(gè)是上面對(duì)話中所表現(xiàn)出的“生氣”，另一個(gè)是“沉迷、熱衷于”。例如：
I guess they're mad about the performance of their baseball players.
我猜他們是為了他們的棒球員表現(xiàn)而氣憤不已。
Rose is quite mad about Andy.
蘿絲相當(dāng)著迷于安迪。
A: Did you say Jack wasn't mad about our spending more than 100 dollars of his money?
你是說(shuō)杰克沒(méi)有為了我們花掉他一百多塊錢而生氣嗎？
B: Right. Because Jack is mad about you. Aren't you aware of that?
對(duì)的，因?yàn)榻芸藧?ài)慕你。你沒(méi)有感覺(jué)到嗎？
換句話說(shuō)，“mad about+人”是“著迷、愛(ài)慕某人”“mad with+人”才是“生某人的氣”。例如：
She has been mad with me for a week.
她氣我已經(jīng)氣一個(gè)星期了。
