L：to snap at someone 就是对某人大声嚷嚷，或者很生气地和某人说话。Michael，你一般不对人那么讲话的。我想可能是你最近压力太大了。 1 Z5 e) c8 Z; k: E( F0 M0 S/ a* l: A( d3 P4 D9 r4 a1 q

L：我是没有让你生气的意思。没关系，每个人都有情绪不好的时候嘛！Michael，我以前好象听到别人用过to snap at someone，可不太清楚它的意思。有一次，一个小孩说他打破了什么东西。。。 . t0 c. d3 ~' k' k 2 n5 [" }" a& [) K" _' MM：His mother must have snapped at him when he broke something at home.* X# m8 O6 w1 u; A8 F" |$ N
