- 1（小孩的）鬧脾氣、耍賴、番；台灣家長最常說的就是「番」或「盧」（小孩在地上盧）。用在大人身上是罵人，等於說對方「像小孩一樣耍脾氣」。
A tantrum is a burst of loud, unreasonable anger — crying, shouting, sometimes throwing things or lying on the floor. It belongs first to small children, who have big feelings and few words: a two-year-old in a supermarket who wants sweets is having a tantrum. The word is also used about adults, and then it is an insult: calling a politician's angry outburst a tantrum says they behaved like a child. Two things make it a tantrum rather than plain anger — it comes suddenly, and the reason does not match the size of it. The usual partners are throw and have: "throw a tantrum", "have a tantrum", and about children, "be in a tantrum". Parents in English-speaking countries also say the temper tantrum, which means the same, and toddlers' tantrum-heavy age is called the terrible twos. Everyday, informal-but-standard word; you would use it with your child's teacher without hesitation.
組成An older English form was tanterum. Where it came from before that, nobody really knows — dictionaries mark it "origin unknown", so it does not split into meaningful pieces and has no relatives to trust.
