高考英语词汇详解：angry的用法

1.be angry with sb对某人生气。如：

He was angry with[at]his wife.他对他妻子很生气。

The teacher was angry with[at]me when I was late.我迟到时老师对我很生气。

注：表示对某人生气，用介词with比用介词at常用。有人认为：用with表示心中感到生气，而用at则表示怒气流露于外表;也有人认为用介词at为口语或非正式文体等。不过值得注意的是，不要按汉语意思说be angry to sb。

2.be angry at[about]sth对某事生气。如：

The teacher was rather angry at what you said.老师对你说的话相当生气。

The man was angry at being kept waiting.这个人因别人让他久等而很恼火。

My sister was angry about missing the film.没看上那部电影我妹妹很气恼。

注：表示对某事生气，介词about和at都可用，有人认为：介词at后接某人之言行，而about之后接某事，但这种区别并不十分严格，两者有时可换用。但是，表示对某事生气，通常不能用介词with。

3.be angry for sth因为某事而生气。如：

I was angry with myself for making such a stupid mistake.

我因为犯了这么愚蠢的错误而在生自己的气。

He was angry with me for not having done anything.因为我什么也没做，他对我很生气。
