Pet Peeve 无法忍受的事
Bao:My brother plays his music too loud.
Jim:One of my biggest pet peeves is loud music.
Bao:What do you do about it?
Jim:I ask him to turn the volume down.

金:我请他把音量关小。
解说:
pet peeve. 你有没有"不能忍受的事"呢? 像讨厌别人讲话很大声啦, 有人偷看你的日记..等等. 例如:周末下雨是你很讨厌的事, 那你就可以说 My pet peeve is rain on Sunday. 如果你的pet peeve不只一个的时候, 该怎么用呢 ?
例句:
My only pet peeve is rain on Sunday.
我唯一无法忍受的事就是星期天下雨。
