    To infuriate someone is to make them extremely angry — not a little , but boiling. If a late train infuriates you, you are furious, not just put out.

    To infuriate someoneInfuriate某人, is to make them extremely angry就是讓他非常生氣—— not a little annoyed, but boiling不是有點不爽,而是氣到快爆炸。 If a late train infuriates you如果一班誤點的火車讓你infuriate, you are furious, not just mildly put out代表你是furious(狂怒),不只是有點不高興。

    The word is a bit strong and a bit formal; in chat, people more often say it drives me mad, it makes me so angry, or, in Taiwan English class talk, it makes me 火大. You infuriate a person (it infuriates me); you can also say I am infuriated, meaning the anger has already arrived.

    The word is a bit strong and a bit formal這個字有點強烈、有點正式; in chat, people more often say it drives me mad, it makes me so angry在口語裡,人們更常說it drives me mad(快把我逼瘋了)、it makes me so angry(讓我好生氣), or, in Taiwan English class talk, it makes me 火大或用台灣英文課常說的說法,it makes me 火大。 You infuriate a person (it infuriates me)你可以說infuriate某人(it infuriates me), you can also say I am infuriated也可以說I am infuriated, meaning the anger has already arrived意思是那股怒氣已經來了。

    Though actually, speakers sometimes reach for infuriate when they only mean “this bothers me a lot.” That a word that still, in careful use, sits next to fury — real rage, not a sigh.

    Though actually不過其實, speakers sometimes reach for infuriate when they only mean "this bothers me a lot."說話的人有時候只是想表達「這件事讓我很煩」,卻用上了infuriate。 That softens a word這會把一個字變軟, that still, in careful use, sits next to fury而這個字仔細用的話,其實和fury(狂怒)站在一起—— real rage, not a sigh是真正的暴怒,不是一聲嘆息。
