anger sb vs anger at sb
- anger sb 表示「使某人發怒」，強調「憤怒」這個結果直接作用於某人身上，是及物動詞的用法。
- anger at sb 則表示「對某人感到憤怒」，這裡的
anger是不及物動詞，搭配介系詞at來指向憤怒的對象。 - 有時 anger over/about sth 用來表示「對某事感到憤怒」，強調憤怒的起因。
對比範例： EN: His rude comment angered his colleague. 翻譯: 他粗魯的言論激怒了他的同事。
EN:She felt a deep anger at her friend's betrayal.
翻譯:她對朋友的背叛感到深深的憤怒。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Anger"?Which "Anger" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He angers with his brother.
✓He is angry with his brother.
混淆動詞 'anger' 與形容詞 'angry' 的用法。'anger' 是及物動詞，需要接賓語；表達情緒狀態時應使用形容詞 'angry' 搭配 be 動詞。
×She angers about the noise.
✓The noise angers her. / She is angered by the noise.
錯誤使用介系詞 'about'。動詞 'anger' 是及物動詞，直接接受詞（某人），或使用被動語態 'be angered by'（某事）。
×I angered to see the mess.
✓It angered me to see the mess. / Seeing the mess angered me.
錯誤地將 'anger' 用作不及物動詞，或試圖用不定詞片語作主詞但結構錯誤。正確用法是將觸發憤怒的事物（it/動名詞片語）作主詞，或使用 'be angered' 結構。
×He made me anger.
✓He made me angry. / He angered me.
混淆使役動詞 'make' 的用法。'Make' 後接形容詞（angry），而非原形動詞（anger）。若要使用動詞 'anger'，則應直接用 'angered me'。
×She angers easily.
✓She gets angry easily.
雖然語意上可理解，但 'anger' 作為動詞較少用於描述習慣性或容易發怒的性格，聽起來不自然。描述容易生氣的性格，更常用 'get angry easily' 或 'is quick to anger'（此處 anger 為名詞）。
