When I caught up with him at the stoplight, I rolled down my window, and boy, did I give him a piece of my mind.
Today I'll give my business manager a piece of my mind. I'm tired of him coming in an hour late every day. I'll tell him to be here on time or look for a job some place else.
My brother-in-law borrowed $200 from me six months ago and never paid me back. So when he tried to borrow another $200 last night, I certainly told him off.

to tell someone off
今天我们要给大家介绍两个表示非常生气的习惯用语。你有没有因为十分生气而对别人大发雷霆？美国人有一个说法是形容这种情绪的，那就是：to give someone a piece of one's mind。To give someone a piece of one's mind并不是把自己的聪敏才智分给别人一点。To give someone a piece of one's mind是指对某人大发雷霆。
例如，一个人开汽车出门，在路上一个开车不守规则、横冲乱闯的人把他弄得很紧张，差点儿没出事。他回到家还在生气，于是他对家里的人说：
"This stupid idiot passed me on the left, then cut in ahead of me so close I had to jam on the brakes to keep from hitting him. When I caught up with him at the stoplight, I rolled down my window, and boy, did I give him a piece of my mind."
这个人说："这个混蛋，他从我左边超车，然后在靠我很近的地方就往我前面挤，我不得不急煞车，否则我的车就要撞上他的车了。当我在红灯的地方和他平行的时候，嗨，我可把他臭骂了一顿。"
下面这个例子是一个公司经理对他的办公室主任不满，他说：
"Today I'll give my business manager a piece of my mind. I'm tired of him coming in an hour late every day. I'll tell him to be here on time or look for a job some place else."
他说："今天我得好好地把办公室主任说一顿。他每天迟到一小时，真叫我讨厌。我要叫他准时来上班，否则就到别处去另找工作。"
在美国口语里有一些表示生气的习惯用语都是由tell这个字组成的。其中美国人最常用的一个就是：to tell someone off。To tell someone off也是表示生气，但是也包含一些拒绝某人要求的意思，例如：
"My brother-in-law borrowed $200 from me six months ago and never paid me back. So when he tried to borrow another $200 last night, I certainly told him off."
这句话翻成中文的意思就是："我的姐夫半年前问我借了两百块美元，可是一直没有还我。所以当他昨天晚上又要问我借两百块美元的时候，我把他好好说了一顿，没借给他。"
在美国许多地方，汽车是生活不可缺少的一个工具。汽车也确实给人们提供许多方便，很多人说，有了汽车就好像长了翅膀，想上那儿就上那儿。可是，一旦汽车出了毛病那就麻烦了，因为大多数车行要价很高，有的还欺诈顾客。下面就是一个例子：
"Can you believe this mechanic charged $800 to fix my car and it runs worse than it did before. Tomorrow I'll go back to tell him off: I'll make his ears burn for a week."
这人说："你信不信，这个修车的人给我修一下车就要我八百元，可是我的车开起来比修车以前还不如。明天，我得去骂他，我得让他一个礼拜都感到害臊。"
今天我们给大家介绍了两个和发脾气有关的习惯用语。第一个是：to give somebody a piece of one's mind。To give somebody a piece of one's mind的意思是"痛快地把别人大骂一通"。今天我们给大家讲解的第二个习惯用语是：to tell someone off。To tell someone off也是生气的意思，但带有拒绝的含义。
