Hayley教口語，“消氣”用英語怎么說？

take the edge off one's anger

If something takes the edge off a situation, usually an unpleasant one, it weakens its effect or intensity.

如果你做某個(gè)事情能夠take the edge off 某個(gè)情況，通常這個(gè)情況是一個(gè)不太好的情況，那么就是說它可以減輕或者削弱(不良事物的影響) 。

所以如果我們說消消氣，其實(shí)就是減輕你的脾氣造成的影響(壞脾氣)，就可以說成take the edge off one's anger，比如

His apology took the edge off her anger.

他道了歉，她的火氣就消了些。

還有一些其它情況也適用于這個(gè)短語，

We won't be having lunch for another hour, but if you're hungry now, I've got some snacks to take the edge off.

我們還有一個(gè)小時(shí)才吃午飯，但如果你現(xiàn)在餓了，我有一些零食可以抗一下餓。
