Feifei
大家好，歡迎收聽 BBC 英語教學的《地道英語》節目。我是馮菲菲。

Sian                                          
Hi, I am Sian.

Feifei
Are you OK, Sian? 

Sian
Yes, of course I am! Can we just get on with the programme?!

Feifei
Um, Sian, have you had your breakfast today?

Sian
No, I haven't. I overslept and then the bus was late and, uh, it's just not been a good day so far!

Feifei
沒吃早飯可不行，我覺得你還是先吃點東西再工作吧。Here, have this chocolate bar.

Sian
Oh, sorry. I know I'm a bit hangry this morning. I do tend to get moody when I don't eat. My husband's always complaining about it!

Feifei
Hangry? Hangry 是什么？你是說 angry 吧？

Sian
No, 'hangry'. 'Hangry' describes someone who is angry – or irritable – as a result of being hungry. Like me today – I'm feeling a bit annoyed because I haven't eaten breakfast yet!

Feifei
You certainly are! Hangry 這個詞是由“angry 生氣”和“hungry 饑餓”組合而成的；用于描述某人本來已經很餓了，但由于其它各種不順感覺餓上加怒，特別想發火。

Sian
Yes, that's right. Let's hear a few examples.

Examples
A: This food is taking forever to arrive. I'm not coming to this restaurant again.
B: Oh dear, someone's getting hangry! Let's get you some food quickly! 

My boyfriend is a nightmare whenever he misses a meal; he gets so hangry!

People tend to get a bit hangry when their blood sugar level drops. 

Feifei
Interesting. 話說我可從來沒有 hangry 過，I'm always very chilled.

Sian
Is that right, Feifei? You know, I'm feeling much happier after eating that chocolate bar. Shall we do the programme again? I feel ready now.

Feifei
No! Come on, that will do. I'm starving!

Sian
Oh dear, it seems like you're a bit hangry too, Feifei! Let's get you to the cafe now.

Feifei
Good idea! Let's go.
