用法
It is sometimes claimed that aggravate should be used only to mean 「to make worse」 and not 「to irritate.」 Based on this view it would be appropriate to say The endless wait for luggage aggravates the misery of modern air travel, but not It's the endless wait for luggage that aggravates me the most. But the latter use dates back as far as the 17th century and is accepted by 68 percent of the Usage Panel. As H.W. Fowler wrote, 「the extension from aggravating a person's temper to aggravating the person himself is slight and natural, and when we are told that Wackford Squeers [in Dickens's Nicholas Nickleby ] pinched the boys in aggravating places we may reasonably infer that his choice of places aggravated both the pinches and the boys.」
有時認為aggravate 應當只被用來表示「加重；使惡化」的意思而不表示「使惱火；激怒」。 根據這種觀點，The endless wait for luggage aggravates the misery of modern air travel（無休止地等待行李加重了現代飛機旅行的困難） 這個句子是正確的，而 It's the endless wait for luggage that aggravates me the most（無休止地等待行李最為令我惱火） 這一句則不正確。 但是後一種用法可以追溯到17世紀，並且被百分之六十八的用法使用小組成員所接受。正如H·W·福勒寫道，「從使一個人的脾氣變得更壞到使一個人惱火的延伸是微小和自然的，當我們看到威克福特·斯貴爾斯〔出自狄更斯的小說尼古拉斯·尼克爾貝 〕往令人惱火的地方擰孩子們時， 我們可以合理地推斷出他所選擇的地方既加劇了擰的疼痛又令孩子們大為惱火。」
