(someone) is being (adjective)
When someone is acting in a way that's different than how they usually act, you can say that they "are being ___". For example, if one of your children is not cooperating with you, you can say:
Why are you being so difficult?
Or say this about your friend who's getting on your nerves today:
She's being annoying.
There are some adjectives that you don't use with "being". For example, "angry" does not need "being". You can just say:
She's angry.
这上面说 "某人行为异于平常时" 用being+adj
为什么angry不可以呢?对于being还是不太明白!
这跟形容词的性质有关。这类形容词一般指 “人的品质属性”。例如:
foolish,nice,kind,careful,patient,lazy,silly,rude,polite,impolite,pleasant,lovely,lively, difficult 等。
而 angry 指人的“情绪”。人的喜怒哀乐等情绪,随时都可以发生或变换,不像人的品质那样相对稳定。She's angry. In a munite, she will be happy. 情绪本身就可以随时变化,所以不再需要用 “一时的表现” 去表达。
原例句 Why are you being so difficult?
这里,difficult 指人时,表示“执拗的,顽固的,难对付”,也是形容人的品质属性。
