短释义:
A cranky person doesn’t get furious or outraged, they’re just easier than usual to annoy—things get on their nerves more quickly than they do for other people. You could think of someone who’s cranky as having actual crank. When they’re hungry, tired or otherwise worn out that crank is easy to turn—it doesn’t take much to make them mad. A person in a good mood, though, has a crank that isn’t as easy to turn. That’s because they’re not cranky.
“暴躁”这个词听起来有点像它的意思:暴躁的人很容易生气、易怒或暴躁。我姐姐一不吃饭就脾气暴躁。如果你想度过美好的一天,就让她吃饱吧。

脾气暴躁的人不会变得愤怒或愤怒,他们只是比平常更容易惹恼——事情比其他人更快地让他们紧张。你可以把脾气暴躁的人想象成真正的脾气暴躁的人。当他们饿了、累了或者疲惫不堪时,曲柄很容易转动——很容易让他们生气。然而,一个心情好的人,却有一个不容易转动的曲柄。那是因为他们不暴躁。

词源:
cranky (adj.)”cross-tempered, irritable,” 1807, from crank (n.) + -y (2). The evolution would be from earlier senses of crank, such as “a twist or fanciful turn of speech” (1590s); “inaccessible hole or crevice” (1560s). Grose’s 1787 “Provincial Glossary” has “Cranky. Ailing sickly from the dutch crank, sick,” and identifies it as a Northern word (this is probably from the vagabond slang sense, which ultimately is from German krank “sick”). Jamieson’s Scottish dictionary (1825) has crank in a secondary sense of “hard, difficult,” as in crank word, “a word hard to be understood;” crank job, “a work attended with difficulty, or requiring ingenuity in the execution.” Related: Crankily; crankiness.
