看到這樣一段對話：

A：My God, the queen is pregnant. Who did it?

B：The queen is NOT amused.

A：天呐，女王懷孕了，誰幹的？

B：别瞎說，女王很生氣！

女王很生氣，後果很嚴重！

今天就來學習一下amused這個詞：

amused： adj. 感到好笑的；感到滑稽的

Eg: Ellen seemed amused by the whole situation.

Ellen似乎被整件事逗樂了。

amusing: adj. 好笑的

Eg: The book is full of amusing stories about his childhood.

這本書全是有關他童年的好笑故事。

-ed指感到...,修飾人； -ing指令人...，修飾物

因此，Be not amused: 感到氣憤的或極不高興的。

Eg: I couldn’t believe he told a dirty joke in front of those ladies.

I was NOT amused.

不敢相信他會在一群女士面前講葷段子！我感到很氣憤！

當然了，這個習語也适用一些比較平常的場合，比如一個未成年少女晚上回家太晚了，父母很擔心，一直沒有睡等她回來，說道：

“So you think you can get back any time of night and get away with it? Well, young lady, we are not amused, and we’ll talk about this in the morning.”

完了，明天要坐小闆凳開會了......

或者你的老師對你期望很高，他也可以這樣說：

“I know you worked on it and put some effort into it, but I am not amused. Your essay is mediocre（平庸的/一般的） at best. I need something better, more closer to my expectations.”

評價你的論文至多隻能算是一般般，隻能重寫了，學生太難了。

又如，學校占用老師的假期時間去值班：

“When the principal told me that I had to safeguard our school for one day during the summer vacation, I was not amused.

哎，老師也不容易啊！
