一個場合的氣氛
同一副壞脾氣，這次不是長在某個人身上，而是瀰漫在整個場子裡。所以形容的對象從「人」換成「那一場會、那一場球」。
adjective · B2
Used about a meeting, match, debate or argument in which the people taking part are angry with each other and are often rude.

核心畫面
One way to hold `ill-tempered` is to read the two halves: ill in its older meaning of bad, plus tempered, having a temper. A temper that has come out badly. Small things land on it and it goes off.

ill-tempered 可以想成把兩半拆開來看。ill 在這裡是舊一點的用法，意思是「壞的」，跟 ill will、ill health 的 ill 一樣，不是「生病」。tempered 來自 temper（脾氣）。合起來的畫面，是一副「配壞了的脾氣」：小小的事情落上去，它就炸開。這個畫面可以指一個人長年都是這樣。也可以指一群人只有那一個小時是這樣。所以同一個字，一邊貼在人身上，一邊貼在場合上。From the word’s history

Easily made angry or impatient. An ill-tempered person loses patience over small things, and this is what they are usually like rather than how they happen to feel today.
