釋義

發脾氣

（英式口語）大聲抱怨或生氣

to behave in a noisy, angry, or upset way because you are not satisfied with something — used informally in British English, especially when someone complains loudly or makes a fuss.

例句

Mum really created when she saw the muddy footprints on the carpet.

媽媽看到地毯上的泥腳印，真的發起了脾氣。

British informal: create = make a fuss

The customer created about the cold soup and demanded to see the manager.

那位客人因為湯是涼的而大發脾氣，要求見經理。

create + about [the thing causing anger]

同義詞
  • make a fuss

    more widely understood; used in both British and American English

  • complain

    more general and neutral in register; less intense than 'create'

  • kick up a fuss

    informal British idiom, similar intensity

文法句型

create (no object)

create + about [cause]

用法筆記

This sense is exclusively British and informal. It never takes a direct object — do not say 'I created the waiter'. Use create about + cause (e.g. create about the noise). In American English, this meaning does not exist; speakers use 'made a fuss' or 'complained loudly' instead.

常見錯誤

❌She created the waiter for being slow.
✅She created about the slow service.
💡'Create' in this British informal sense is intransitive and cannot take a direct object.
