Feifei
大家好，欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目，我是菲菲。

Neil
… and me, Neil. Have you seen how angry Rob is today? Do you know what happened?

Feifei
Err, yes. 你记得昨天是他的生日吗？我本来想给他一个惊喜，给他办一个生日聚会。

Neil
Oh, that's a really nice thing to do. Does he hate surprises?

Feifei
Now he does. 别提了，为了制造惊喜，我把这件事情隐藏得太好了，以至于忘记邀请别人来参加了。结果，Rob 来到聚会地点的时候，没有别人了。

Neil
That sounds awful. Well, at least I know why I didn't get invited. I was quite annoyed you'd forgotten me!

Feifei
Well, I'm glad you didn't go off on one as well!

Neil
'Go off on one' – is that the expression we're teaching in this programme?

Feifei
Yes, it is! 我想趁我在这里躲 Rob 的时候，正好可以给大家介绍一个地道英语表达。表达 “go off on one” 的意思是 “突然变得非常愤怒、恼火，大发雷霆”。注意，这是一个口语表达。

Neil
Right. Let's listen to some examples of this expression while I talk to Rob.

Examples
When the order got lost in the post, the customer rang up and went off on one.

Please, don't go off on one, but I've lost your keys.

My mum went off on one when she found out I'd broken the washing machine. I was only trying to help.

Feifei
你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。以上我们介绍了表达 “go off on one” 的含义和用法，它用来描述某人 “突然大发雷霆，暴跳如雷”。Neil, what did you say to Rob? He's really calm now.

Neil
I just told him that you were going to throw him the most amazing party of his life tonight to say 'sorry'.

Feifei
Tonight! That's ridiculous! I'm far too busy!

Neil
Don't worry – before you go off on one – I promise to help you with the planning.

Feifei
OK, then. Bye.

Neil
Bye!
