difference
这个词在这个语境下的意思跟我们最早接触的“不同”不一样哦。这里,它是a disagreement between people。比如:
We have our differences, but she’s still my sister.
Why don’t you settle your differences and be friends again?
There was a difference of opinion over who had won.
piss somebody off
下次想说“你真是气死我了”,就不要用angry之类的,改成You really pissed me off. 或者像上面说的:I’m so pissed off at you!
get something off your chest
就是“把憋在心里的话讲出来,一吐为快”(to talk about something that has been worrying you for a long time so that you feel less anxious)。
Why not tell her how you feel? It might do you good to get it off your chest.
