“see red”是英语中极具画面感的习语，其词源可追念至西方斗牛文化——斗牛场上，斗牛士挥舞红色大氅时，公牛会推崇出狂怒现象，尽管公牛试验是色盲，被激愤的根源是大氅的舞动而非脸色，但这一场景在说话演变中固化，使“red”与“愤怒”酿成强有计划，最终催生该习语。其中枢语义并非字面的“看见红色”，而是“勃然愤怒、怒不行遏”，专指因不公、冒犯或有时情况激励的热烈神情爆发，且神情会一会儿压倒感性想考。需细心与字面义差别，如小学阶段学到的：

You could see red, white, and yellow flowers in it.

你不错在内部看到红色,白色和黄色的花。

仅为基础抒发，而算作习语时需体现神情内涵。如：
