Question

pique n.生气；愤怒v.伤害 ... 自尊心；激怒；产生 (1) 他们气得拒不接受对方提出的妥协建议。(2) 汤姆有些生气地说完这句话。(3) 他发觉谁也没有听他讲话，一气之下就走了。(4) 他发现自己未被邀请,感到伤了自尊。(5) 她似乎很生气。(6) 她产生了好奇心。 Both the noun and verb are pronounced "pēk" and were borrowed from a French word meaning "a prick, irritation," from Old French, from piquer "to prick." So you can see how something that pricks you could make you both excited and angry. But it's frustrating––enough to make you want to storm away from learning vocab. That storming away, by the by, might be called a "fit of pique."
