美国俚语大全:enragement ring 惹女友生气后买的赎罪戒指

大家都知道engagement ring的意思是订婚戒指，而今天我们介绍的enragement ring意思是惹女友生气后买的赎罪戒指来哄女友开心。

engagement和enragement两个词只差一个字母，但意思完全不同，前者的意思是订婚，后者意思是愤怒，生气。enrage的意思是激怒，使暴怒。

外国网站给出的解释：

A piece of jewelry, typically a ring, that is purchased for a girlfriend in an effort to make her happy after you have made her angry.

例句：

A: Wow, your girlfriend is pretty pissed that you were out all night and didn't call her. What are you going to do?

喔，因为你在外过夜没给她打电话，你女友非常生气。你会怎么办?

B: Yeah, you're right, she's pretty mad. I might have to buy her an 'enragement ring' to smooth things over.

没错，她确实很生气。我可能会给她买个"赎罪戒指"，给她消消气。
