- 1a/ˌpʊt ˈaʊt/feeling upset/offended不悅 / 生氣
Feeling upset, , or offended because someone treated you in a way that doesn't seem fair.
「put out」當形容詞用，是「有點生氣、覺得被怠慢」的感覺，比 angry 輕，比 annoyed 更帶「沒被尊重」的味道。例如沒被邀請、被忽略、被當面打槍，你會覺得 a bit put out。想像一個人被「放到（put）外面（out）」——被排在圈圈之外，當然不太舒服。這個用法只能放動詞後面（be / feel put out），不能放名詞前面（不能說 a put out person）。
