写在前面
最近突然想好好学习（笑）觉得 BBC learning English 的 六分钟英语很不错 就拿它做精读材料和听力材料
这是BBC Six Minute English 五月十号的一期podcast，讲的是hungry这个混合词的由来，以及为什么人会在饥饿的情况下变得愤怒。
开头问的问题很有意思：
English has quite a few words which are made by joining two different words together like ‘hangry’, for example: brunch, motel, Brexit. What do we call these words? Are they…
a) Suitcase words
b) Portmanteau words, or
c) Backpack words
我特地去查了suitcase words 什么意思，有个人写的很不错：
suitcase words—words that contain a variety of meanings packed into them, such as conscience, emotions, consciousness, experience, thinking, morality, right, and wrong.
这个比喻很形象 suitcase 意为手提箱，那suitcase word就指代那些有丰富意思的单词，比如他举得例子 experience 既有经历也有经验的意思。
选项B则是合成词的意思，这种合成词在英文的文章里很常见，尤其是在社交媒体上，比较流行。
选项C我查了一会儿没找到什么意思，backpack是背包的意思，我猜可能是后缀词？？？
这一篇podcast除了他给的一些language points ，我先说一下我自己发现的其他的language points。
- grumpy 麦克米伦的解释是：unhappy and dissatisfied, often for no obvious reason
意为脾气坏，强调无缘无故的坏脾气。 - kind of oxford 的解释是 slightly ；in some ways 即稍微 有点儿
它的近义词是 sort of - smarty pants 根据urban词典 意为someone who displays intelligence in an annoying way
翻译中文可能是故意卖弄炫耀自己聪明的人。 - kick in 麦克米伦的释义 ： INFORMAL to start to have an effect
非正式的 用来表示某事开始生效
官方的一些language points：
hangry
angry because of hungerirritability 易怒 动词（v) irritate 使烦恼
getting annoyed very easilymerge （使）合并，结合，并入
join different things togetherfight or flight hormones
chemicals in the body that prepare us for aggression or escaperage 暴怒 狂怒
a state of being very angry
（补充一个短语: be all the rage 十分流行；风靡一时)impulsive 容易冲动的
without control; without thinking about the consequences of an action
当然文章还有许多有意思的句子值得揣摩，比如：And she says that it was the wonderful world of social media that joined the two words together.
这是一个 it is ...that 引导的强调句，用于强调说话人的语气Hormones are the chemicals we make in our bodies that control certain biological and psychological functions.
这个长句子 we make in our bodies 是一个插入语，总体是一个定语从句，荷尔蒙是一种化学物质，什么样的化学物质呢？一种可以控制某种生理和心理功能的化学物质
其他还有许多有意思的句子就等待你去发现了
最后插上原podcast链接 Hangry: are you angry when you're hungry?
