专业词汇|怎么样表达“郁积的愤懑”？

南京的读者应该对这幅图片司空见惯。日前，南京首家泄愤吧在升州路某夜总会开始营业，图片中，郁闷美眉正对泄愤模特拳打脚踢，以发泄心头郁积的愤懑。

请详看图片说明:A customer （R） attacks a staff member at the Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province August 7, 2006.

Stressed-out Chinese can now unleash^{1 pent-up anger at a bar that lets customers attack staff, smash glasses and generally make a ruckus, a Chinese newspaper reported on Monday. The Rising Sun Anger Release Bar in Nanjing employs 20 muscled young men as models for customers to punch and scream at.}

伴随生活步伐加快、工作角逐重压增大，大家心头的郁闷也是越积越多，pent-up anger恰如其分地形容了郁积在高压之下的愤懑。

Pent-up（压抑的）由动词词组pen up衍生而来，pent是pen的过去分词。Pen除去表达钢笔外，还可用来形容栅栏；把关起来，如The desire to travel has been pent up for the last two years.（近两年来，心中总是憋着想外出旅游的念头）。

另外，pent-up常用来形容emotion（情感）、love（爱）、hatred（仇恨）等情感名词，而释放、发泄这类情感则常用release，unleash等动词来表达。
