miffed

名前は知っていますが読んだ事も、映画化された映画も見た事のない、"To Kill a Mockingbird" についてのThe Book That Changed My Lifeと題されたReader's Digest 10月号の記事から引用します。
Don Noble, professor emeritus of English at the University of Alabama, wrote it this way in Critical Insights: To Kill a Mockingbird: "Most readers, over these intervening years, have not been miffed at his flaws.
この "miffed" が分からないので調べます。
・Oxford English Dictionary: somewhat annoyed; peeved: she turned around , looking slightly miffed; she was miffed at not being invited
・Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary: annoyed at someone's behaviour towards you; She hadn't phoned for a week and I was getting quite miffed.
"miffed" の原形は "miff" で次ぎの様に名詞と動詞になります。
・OneLook Quick Difinitions:
noun: a state of irritation or annoyance
verb: cause to be annoyed ("His behavior really miffed me")
図書館に "To Kill a Mockingbird" があればその内に読んで見たいと思いました。
