    Displeasure is the feeling of being or not satisfied with someone or something — the name of the feeling, not the person and not the thing.

    DispleasureDispleasure(不悅、不滿) is the feeling of being annoyed or not satisfied with someone or something指的是對某人或某件事感到不悅或不滿的那種感覺 — the name of the feeling這是那種感覺的名稱, not the person and not the thing而不是指人,也不是指那件事。

    People show displeasure with a look, a cold voice, or a stiff letter; they may express their displeasure without ever raising it. It is a rather formal, slightly old-fashioned word: news, offices, and careful speech like it, because it sounds serious but controlled. It is cooler and weaker than anger or fury.

    People show displeasure人們會表現出displeasure with a look, a cold voice, or a stiff letter用一個眼神、冷淡的語氣,或一封生硬的信; they may express their displeasure他們可能表達出不滿 without ever raising it卻從來不提高音量。It is a rather formal, slightly old-fashioned word這是一個相當正式、有點老派的字: news, offices, and careful speech新聞、辦公室,和講究用字的場合 like it都喜歡用它, because因為 it sounds serious but controlled它聽起來嚴肅但克制。It is cooler and weaker than anger or fury它比anger或fury來得冷靜,也弱一點。

    You can someone's displeasure (make them feel this way) or hide your own. Though actually, everyday English often skips the noun and just says someone is not pleased — same truth, less starch.

    You can incur someone's displeasure你可以incur someone's displeasure(招致某人的不悅) (make them feel this way讓他們有這種感覺) or或 hide your own隱藏自己的不悅。Though actually不過其實, everyday English日常英文 often skips the noun常常會省略這個名詞 and而 just says someone is not pleased直接說某人is not pleased(不太高興) — same truth意思一樣, less starch只是少一點正式感。
