美国俚语: enragement ring 惹女友生气后买的赎罪戒指

　　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 jewelry¹, 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。
