  • stormy 本词

    Stormy describes a situation, meeting, or relationship as full of heated argument or ongoing conflict, evoking a storm's turbulence rather than sheer physical force.

    stormy 强调某种情况、会议或关系中充满激烈争吵或持续冲突,带有风暴般动荡不安的意味,而非单纯的猛烈力量。

    Their stormy relationship was marked by constant arguments and short-lived reconciliations.

    他们那段动荡不安的关系里,争吵不断,和好也总是短暂的。

Furious and stormy both mean intense. Furious describes an action or outburst as extremely forceful, full of physical energy or violence. Stormy describes a situation or relationship full of heated argument or conflict, like a storm. Anger and weather senses are not compared here.

furious 和 stormy 在这个意义上都可以形容“激烈、猛烈”的状态,但侧重点不同:furious 强调动作、节奏或行为本身极其猛烈、充满力量甚至暴力性,常用于描述动作或情绪的爆发;stormy 强调充满争吵、冲突不断的局面或关系,带有风暴般动荡不安的比喻色彩,常用于会议、争论、关系等场合。这里不比较 furious 表示“(人)极为愤怒”的意义,也不比较 stormy 表示“(天气)有风暴的”字面意义。
