长释义
If someone has gall, they’re irritating. In fact, as a verb, gall means “to irritate” like new tight jeans that gall your thighs. Gall is “bile,” too, like what’s in a gall bladder. Back in the days of Hippocrates, if the four humors of the body were out of whack, it affected your spirits. If you had too much bile, or gall, then you’d be aggressive or depressed. It’s also a noun for “deep feeling of ill will.”
如果有人有胆汁,他们会很恼火。事实上,作为一个动词,gall 的意思是“刺激”,就像新的紧身牛仔裤磨破你的大腿一样。 Gall 也是“胆汁”,就像胆囊中的东西一样。回到希波克拉底时代,如果身体的四种体液失调,就会影响你的精神。如果你的胆汁或胆汁过多,你就会变得好斗或抑郁。它也是“深深的恶意”的名词。
