A long, loud, angry speech attacking someone or something — not a short shout, but a flood of words that goes on and on while everyone else waits for it to stop. The key ideas are three: it is long, it is angry, and it is one person doing all the talking.
A long, loud, angry speech attacking someone or something一段又長又大聲、生氣地攻擊某人或某事的話——not a short shout不是短短罵一句，but a flood of words that goes on and on而是一長串講個沒完的話，while everyone else waits for it to stop其他人都只能等它講完。The key ideas are three重點有三個：it is long它很長、it is angry它很生氣、and it is one person doing all the talking而且是一個人講到底。
It is a fairly formal, written-sounding word, common in news reports and novels: "he launched into a tirade against the government". The usual partners are "launch into a tirade", "unleash a tirade", and "a tirade against/about something".
It is a fairly formal, written-sounding word這是個相當正式、比較書面的字，common in news reports and novels常見於新聞報導和小說："he launched into a tirade against the government".例如「he launched into a tirade against the government」（他對政府展開一連串痛罵）。The usual partners are常見的搭配是 "launch into a tirade""launch into a tirade"（展開痛罵）、"unleash a tirade""unleash a tirade"（爆發痛罵）、and "a tirade against/about something"還有 "a tirade against/about something"（針對某事的痛罵）。
It is never a compliment. Calling something a tirade tells the reader that the speaker lost control and probably went on too long — even if you happen to agree with what was said.
It is never a compliment它絕對不是稱讚。Calling something a tirade把某段話稱作 tirade，tells the reader that the speaker lost control就是在告訴讀者說話的人失控了，and probably went on too long而且大概講太久了——even if you happen to agree with what was said就算你剛好同意他講的內容也一樣。
Compare "rant", which is the everyday spoken word for the same thing and sounds much more casual, and "lecture", which is long and one-sided but rather than furious.
Compare "rant"比較一下 "rant"，which is the everyday spoken word for the same thing它是同樣意思的日常口語說法，and sounds much more casual聽起來隨性很多，and "lecture"還有 "lecture"，which is long and one-sided but disapproving rather than furious它也是長篇又單方面，但是不滿而不是狂怒。
組成Borrowed from French tirade, meaning a long speech or monologue. The French word comes from tirer, "to pull, to draw out" — so the picture underneath is of words being pulled out in one long, unbroken string. It reached English through the theatre, where a tirade was a long speech by one actor, and only later picked up the anger.
