- 1焦躁不安、坐立難安（比「擔心」更坐不住）
If you are agitated, you are so nervous, angry, or upset that your body will not keep still and your mind will not stay calm. You might walk up and down, talk too fast, or get sharp with people over small things. It is stronger than worried: a worried person can sit in a chair; an agitated person keeps moving. Doctors and nurses use it a lot ("the patient is agitated"), and news writers use it about crowds that are close to boiling over. It sounds a little formal. A friend would more often say "she can't sit still" or "he's really worked up." Though actually, you can also agitate a liquid — shake or stir it — and then the liquid is agitated too, but that is a quiet, technical use. The meaning you will meet in ordinary talk is the person who cannot settle.
組成agitate（攪動、使不平靜）+ -ed（已處於那種狀態）。agitate 來自拉丁文 agitare，有「一再驅趕、搖動」的意思。
