　　Stressed-out Chinese can now unleash 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.

　　随着生活节奏加快、工作竞争压力增大，人们心头的郁闷也是越积越多，pent-up anger恰到好处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除了表达“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，心中老是憋着想出门旅行的念头）。

　　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”这些情感则常用release，unleash等动词来表达。
