-====== bàozào: 暴躁 - Irritable, Grumpy, Short-tempered ====== +
-===== Quick Summary ===== +

-  * **Summary:** Learn the meaning and use of **暴躁 (bàozào)**, a common Chinese adjective used to describe someone who is **irritable, short-tempered, and grumpy**. This page breaks down the characters, explores the cultural significance of having a bad temper in China, and provides dozens of practical example sentences. Understand the difference between being `暴躁` (a personality trait) and simply being `生气` (shēngqì - angry), and learn how to use this powerful word to describe people and moods accurately. +
-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** bàozào +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Adjective +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 5 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** Describes a person's disposition as irritable, fiery, and prone to sudden outbursts of anger. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** `暴躁` is more than just being in a bad mood. It describes a state or a personality trait of someone who is like a powder keg with a short fuse. Think of a person who gets angry at the smallest inconvenience—they are `暴躁`. It carries a strong negative connotation, implying a lack of self-control and emotional maturity. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **暴 (bào):** This character means "violent," "sudden," or "cruel." Think of a sudden, violent rainstorm, which is called `暴雨 (bàoyǔ)`. It represents an abrupt, intense, and uncontrolled force. +
-  * **躁 (zào):** This character means "restless," "agitated," or "impatient." The foot radical `足 (zú)` at the bottom suggests a physical inability to be still, a kind of anxious, fidgety energy. +
-  * **Together:** The combination of "violent/sudden" (暴) and "restless/agitated" (躁) creates a vivid image. `暴躁` (bàozào) is not just anger; it's a state of restless agitation that erupts into violent, sudden anger. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-In Chinese culture, which places a high value on social harmony (`和谐, héxié`) and emotional restraint, being `暴躁` is considered a significant character flaw. It's the antithesis of the ideal of a `冷静 (lěngjìng)` (calm, composed) and mature individual. +
-A useful Western comparison is the difference between "being stressed out" and "having a bad temper." In the West, saying "I'm so stressed" can often serve as an explanation or excuse for irritable behavior. In China, labeling someone as `暴躁` is a more direct and serious criticism of their character. It implies they lack self-cultivation and are difficult to be around because they disrupt group harmony. A `暴躁` boss isn't just "under pressure"; they are seen as a poor leader. A `暴躁` friend is seen as emotionally immature. Therefore, the term carries a heavier social judgment than its English equivalents like "grumpy" or "short-tempered." +
-===== Practical Usage in Modern China ===== +
-`暴躁` is a common word used in everyday conversation to complain about or describe people with bad tempers. +
-  * **Describing People:** It's most frequently used to describe a person's fundamental personality. "My dad has a short temper" would be "我爸爸脾气很**暴躁**" (Wǒ bàba píqi hěn **bàozào**). +
-  * **Describing a Temporary Mood:** It can also describe a temporary state, often caused by stress, heat, or frustration. For example: "The weather is so hot, it's making me really irritable." (天气太热了，搞得我很**暴躁** - Tiānqì tài rè le, gǎo de wǒ hěn **bàozào**). +
-  * **Online:** On Chinese social media, it's used to describe difficult customers, frustrating online teammates in games, or public figures who have angry outbursts. +
-  * **Connotation:** It is almost exclusively negative. You would only use it self-deprecatingly ("Sorry, I've been a bit on edge lately"), but never as a point of pride. +
-===== Example Sentences ===== +

-===== Nuances and Common Mistakes ===== +
-  * **`暴躁` (bàozào) vs. `生气` (shēngqì):** This is the most critical distinction for learners. +
-    * `生气` (shēngqì) means "to be angry." It is the emotion itself, a temporary state. (e.g., "I am angry now." - 我现在很生气。) +
-    * `暴躁` (bàozào) is the *disposition* to get angry easily. A `暴躁` person gets `生气` very often and very quickly. +
-    * **Analogy:** If `生气` is the rain, `暴躁` is the cloudy, stormy weather that produces the rain. +
-  * **`暴躁` (bàozào) vs. `烦躁` (fánzào):** +
-    * `暴躁` implies an explosive, outward anger. +
-    * `烦躁` (fánzào) means "agitated" or "annoyed." It's more of an internal feeling of restlessness and frustration. You can be `烦躁` without yelling at anyone, but a `暴躁` person is likely to yell. +
-  * **Common Mistake:** Using `暴躁` like a verb with `了`. +
-    * **Incorrect:** 我今天**暴躁**了。(Wǒ jīntiān bàozào le.) +
-    * **Why it's wrong:** `暴躁` is an adjective describing a state, not a completed action. It feels unnatural, like saying "I short-tempered-ed." +
-    * **Correct:** 我今天有点**暴躁**。(Wǒ jīntiān yǒudiǎn bàozào.) - "I'm a little irritable today." +
-    * **Correct:** 我今天脾气很**暴躁**。(Wǒ jīntiān píqi hěn bàozào.) - "My temper is very short today." +
