Hothead 暴脾气

                  Larry下班后跟李华一起吃晚饭,跟她讲他老板发火的事情。
                  LH: Larry, 今天上班忙吗?
                  LL: Well, to be honest Li Hua, it was a bit stressful. One of
                  our ad campaigns was not successful and my boss had a total
                  meltdown. He is such a hothead.
                  LH: A hothead? 你是说老板性情急躁,动不动就发脾气吗?
                  LL: Yes, exactly, a hothead means someone who gets very angry
                  very quickly. When something makes a hothead mad, you
                  absolutely do not want to be around him.
                  LH: 没错,急脾气的人要是生气了,最好是离他们远点,否则一不小心就成了出气筒。
                  LL: That is exactly right, a hothead can really be dangerous
                  sometimes, though often they'll just throw a tantrum and be
                  done with it.
                  LH: 他们倒是出气了,可旁边的人却要跟着倒霉。快说说,你们老板当时什么反应?
                  LL: Well, when he heard that the campaign was not successful,
                  he blamed ME. He was such a hothead, he slammed down his
                  coffee mug and broke it.
                  LH: 那咖啡还不洒得到处都是?
                  LL: It got all over his shirt. This got him even angrier.
                  LH: 太可怕了。我有个同学,就是典型的hothead。
                  LL: In what way, Li Hua?
                  LH: 比方说吧,前不久他的一篇作文,教授只给了C,他气得脸红脖子粗,竟然把课本一下子扔到地上。He is such a
                  hothead.
                  LL: Wow, what did your professor do?
                  LH:
教授当时已经走了,可教室里还有很多人,大家都没想到他的脾气如此暴躁。对了,刚才说到一半,那你们老板是什么时候消的气呢?
                  LL: He didn't talk to anyone for the rest of the day. He just
                  stormed off to his office. Because he was such a hothead, no
                  one dared to knock on his door.
                  LH: 可想而知,办公室里的气氛肯定一天都好不了。
                  LL: Well, the afternoon actually turned out alright.
                  LH: Oh? And why was that?
                  LL: Once he stormed off, the boss was out of everyone's hair
                  for the rest of the day. It was pretty relaxing from there on
                  out.
