大家好！很高興又來和大家分享英語學習筆記了。人生不如意十八九，所以常常會聽到或這或那的怨言。那麼今天就來和大家一起學習幾個關于“抱怨”的詞彙：

　　complain、grumble、moan、whine、whinge

　　注：These words all mean to say that you are annoyed, unhappy or not satisfied about sb/sth. 以上各詞均含對人或事物感到惱怒、不高興或不滿之義。

　　complain 解釋：to say that you are annoyed, unhappy or not satisfied about sb/sth 指抱怨、埋怨、發牢騷

　　例句：I'm going to complain to the manager about this.我要就這件事給經理提意見。

　　grumble 解釋：( rather informal , disapproving ) to complain about sb/sth in a bad-tempered way 指咕哝、嘟囔、發牢騷：

　　例句：They kept grumbling that they were cold.他們不停地嘟囔着說冷。

　　moan 解釋：( BrE , rather informal , disapproving ) to complain about sb/sth in an annoying way 指抱怨、埋怨：

　　例句：What are you moaning on about now?你在抱怨什麼呢？

　　whine 解釋：( rather informal , disapproving ) to complain in an annoying, crying voice 指哭哭啼啼或哭嚷着訴說：

　　例句：

　　Stop whining!别哭哭啼啼的！

　　‘I want to go home,’ whined Toby.“我要回家。”托比哼哼唧唧地說。

　　whinge 解釋：( BrE , informal , disapproving ) to complain about sb/sth in an annoying way 指絮絮叨叨地抱怨

　　例句：She's always whingeing about how unfair everything is.她總是嘟囔着說一切都太不公平了。

　　【釋疑】

　　用grumble、moan還是whinge？

　　These are all fairly informal words for ‘complain’. Grumble tells you how the person who is complaining feels (= they are in a bad mood) ; moan and whinge tell you more about how the people listening to the complaints feel (= the complaining is annoying them) .

　　以上三詞均為complain的非正式用詞。

　　grumble表達抱怨者的感受，即心情不好；moan和whinge多表達聽者的心情，即抱怨使人心煩。

　　常用搭配 to complain / grumble / moan / whine / whinge about sth

　　to complain / grumble / moan at sth

　　to complain / grumble / moan / whine / whinge to sb

　　to complain / grumble / moan / whine that…
