- 1長篇的痛罵、破口大罵、抨擊的長篇大論
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. 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 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. 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.
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.
