【now.com體育】有說rant and rave這一組字其實很累贅，因為rant和rave實有相似之意。但因為其頭韻（兩字的發音均以“r”開頭），所以人們就習慣性地把兩字湊在一起了。 撰文：Kate Wong
掟水樽前，高普情緒是隨著比賽進行越趨激動的。被激怒，除了make sb angry外，我們可以用wind up一詞，這也有使人心煩的意思。例句：Johnathan's childish acts always wind me up. （Johnathan的幼稚行為常把我氣壞。）
其實，要let off steam，除了大叫大嚷外或掟水樽外，也有很多其他方法的。
Let/blow off steam這習語解作發洩情緒或釋放精力。例句：My students just have to leave the classroom to let off some steam. （我的學生只要離開課室去釋放多餘精力。）
When my students wind me up, I would go jogging to let off steam. （被學生氣壞了的時候，筆者會以跑步來宣洩。）
