Sullen is an even more disapproving word: people can be sullen on a particular occasion or it can describe their whole character because they behave like that all the time. * sulky通常形容孩子悶悶不樂;如果用於形容成年人,則暗指其孩子氣。sullen是個更具貶義的詞,既可指人在某特定時刻悶悶不樂,亦可指人性情陰鬱,總是鬱鬱寡歡。■petulantˈpetjulənt; NAmEˈpetʃələnt (written, disapproving) bad-tempered and unreasonable, especially because you cannot do or have what you want鬧脾氣的;耍性子的;賭氣的◆He behaved like a petulant child and refused to cooperate.他像個耍性子的孩子,拒絕合作。
