Fuming describes intense anger that you can barely contain—like smoke rising from a fire about to explode. It's that seething, heated rage where you might need to walk away before you say something you regret. More intense than annoyed, less violent than furious.

Fuming描述的是你几乎控制不住的强烈愤怒——就像即将爆炸的火焰升起的烟。那是一种沸腾、灼热的愤怒，你可能需要走开才不会说出让自己后悔的话。比烦恼更强烈，但比狂怒更收敛。

Fuming describe una ira intensa que apenas puedes contener—como humo que sale de un fuego a punto de explotar. Es esa rabia hirviente y acalorada donde podrías necesitar alejarte antes de decir algo de lo que te arrepientas. Más intenso que molesto, menos violento que furioso.

Fumingは、ほとんど抑えられないほどの激しい怒りを表します——爆発寸前の火から立ち上る煙のように。後悔するようなことを言う前に、その場を離れる必要があるかもしれないほどの、煮えたぎるような怒りです。イライラより強く、激怒よりは抑えめ。

Fuming은 거의 참을 수 없을 정도로 격렬한 분노를 표현한다—폭발 직전의 불에서 연기가 피어오르는 것처럼. 후회할 말을 하기 전에 자리를 피해야 할 정도로 속이 부글부글 끓는 분노다. '짜증나는' 것보다 강하고, '격분한' 것보다는 약간 약하다.
