这是什么意思呢，其实还是to make sb. angry, annoyed or frustrated “让某个人生气、厌烦、受挫”这个意思；

eg: The arrogant actor ticked off the director.

eg: His mum ticked him off at home.

eg: Nothing ticked off my mom more than having people come into the house with dirty shoes.

没有什么比家里来人，穿着脏鞋进屋更让我妈妈火大的了。

其实你也可以用被动语态，

tick sb. off 被动语态中我们可以说sb. is ticked off，或者口语中甚至可以直接把off省略掉。

eg: Kelly was so ticked (off)!

Kelly超级生气的！
