short fuse

脾氣火爆 / 易怒

「have a short fuse」形容一個人很容易發脾氣，一點小事就能點燃怒火，就像炸彈的引線很短一樣。這裡他們以為Rosa脾氣很差，是個「霹靂火」。

Of course I'm nervous! What did you think was the problem?

We just assumed you were a terrifying human being with a short fuse.

But if the problem is that you're nervous, that's where Charles Boyle lives, baby.
