　　Blow one’s top中的blow是指“情感的爆發(fā)”，top是指人的“頭部”。Blow one’s top的字面意思是“把頭頂都給氣飛了”，比喻為“勃然大怒”的意思。習(xí)語(yǔ)詞典中解釋道：to explode with anger; to lose one’stemper。

　　憑上帝的名義，他為什么不遲不早挑準(zhǔn)這時(shí)刻發(fā)脾氣呢?

　　第四， 語(yǔ)法點(diǎn)撥

　　1. Last week when Mark was asking what kind of man she would marry, Jenny blewher top and jump down his throat like anything.

　　【要點(diǎn)解析】 該句中的狀語(yǔ)從句“last week when Mark was asking what kind of man she wouldmarry” 中含有省略了引導(dǎo)詞whom，who或者是that引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句——she would marry。

　　【要點(diǎn)解析】 like anything屬于副詞性短語(yǔ)，修飾謂語(yǔ)jump down one’s throat，表示程度。

　　2. If I were Mark, I wouldn’t give her a tumble.

　　【要點(diǎn)解析】該句使用了虛擬語(yǔ)氣，是對(duì)現(xiàn)在情況的一種假設(shè)。主句用過(guò)去將來(lái)時(shí)——would，從句用一般過(guò)去時(shí)——were。
