“闹别扭”的新说法
英语课
今天要讲的词是strop。Strop 是什么意思呢？ 翻开字典，我们可以查到：A flexible strip of leather or canvas used for sharpening a razor. 磨快剃刀的皮革带或帆布带。不过，我们今天要讲的是它的另一种含义，即闹别扭，跟谁都过不去。如果你心情不好或者非常不高兴的时候，你就可以用这个词。
A: I think you just turn left here.
B: It's not left--we've been driving around forever--can't you just read the map properly!?
A: All right. No need to have a strop!
开车找不到路本来就心烦，要是夫妻之间再相互抱怨，一定会引起一番不愉快的争吵，to have a strop。
小结：
1 Strop闹别扭：Someone is having a strop. You had a strop.
2 Stroppy蛮横、刁蛮：He's being a bit stroppy. She's really stroppy, isn't she?
