1. 1不耐煩地、氣結地(一種被煩到受不了、又累又無奈的語氣,不是暴怒)

    In a way that shows you are and have lost your patience — not sudden hot anger, but the tired, fed-up kind that builds after something has gone wrong again and again. If you say something exasperatedly, people can hear it: a sigh first, a flat or sharp voice, maybe the same question asked one more time ("Why do I have to tell you every single day?"). It is a written word more than a spoken one — you will meet it in stories, telling you how a character spoke, right next to said, sighed, asked. In real conversation people just say "he sounded really fed up". It also goes with actions that leak the same feeling: throw up your hands exasperatedly, shake your head exasperatedly. One useful thing about it: it usually points at a person who keeps doing something, not at bad luck. You are with your little , less naturally with the rain.

組成exasperated (feeling worn down and annoyed) + -ly, the ending that turns a describing word into a how-word. Further back, exasperate came from Latin asper, meaning 'rough' — the feeling of being rubbed rough, over and over.
