freak-out

情緒失控 / 恐慌發作

口語中指「突然感到極度恐慌、焦慮或憤怒」,也可以指因為這種情緒失控而導致的行為。這裡 Jake 提到 Terry 之前「一整年都在擔驚受怕」,就是指他因為心理創傷而情緒長期處於失控狀態。

We have to get Terry off this case. What? Why?
Look, I thought he was a weirdo for having his year-long freak-out, but I get it now.
He has children. What happens to them if he gets hurt?
