Blow off steam

字號:

Blow off steam 減壓
     Also, let off steam. Air or relieve one's pent-up feelings by loud talk or vigorous activity. This metaphoric term refers to easing the pressure in a steam engine.
     eg: Joan's shouting did not mean she was angry at you; she was just blowing off steam.
     Note:
     Blow off steam的意思是通過大聲喊出來或者一些活動來釋放壓力,也可以說是let off steam。這種說法與早期給蒸汽機(jī)減壓有關(guān)。
     例:Joan并非生你氣才大吼的,她只是想釋放點壓力。
