Колесо эмоций от Lindsay Braman
Терапевт и психолог-педагог из США по имени Lindsay Braman составила колесо Emotion Sensation Feeling Wheel, которое должно помочь людям идентифицировать свои эмоции. Часто человеку сложно выразить свои эмоции словами из-за банального неумения разобраться в собственных чувствах. Когда предлагается выбрать из списка слов, становится намного проще.
Изначально это колесо никак не относилось к изучению английского, но мы его возьмем в качестве учебного материала.
Ближе к центру на колесе расположены базовые эмоции:
- Fear – страх
- Anger – злость
- Disgust – отвращение
- Sad – грусть
- Happy – счастье
- Surprise – удивление
Далее, чем дальше от центра, тем более тонкие оттенки эмоций и чувств. Все эти слова, и даже больше, вы найдете в этой подборке. Для удобства мы их разбили по уровням сложности.
Подсказка: Если вы хотите найти слово из колеса в статье, воспользуйтесь поиском по странице. На десктопе это можно сделать, нажав Ctrl + F.
Еще подсказка: Если вы зарегистрированы на сайте, любое слово можно выделить и сохранить себе на изучение в персональный словарь, чтобы позже попрактиковать их в бесплатных онлайн-тренажерах EnglishDom.

Состояние или эмоция на английском
Вы наверняка обратили внимание, что некоторые эмоции в списках продублированы. Например, sad (грустный) и sadness (грусть). Первое в этом случае является состоянием и прилагательным, а второе — эмоцией и существительным. Как отличить одно от другого в английском языке?
Вот список свойственных для существительных окончаний: – -tion, -ity, -er, -ness, -ism, -ment, -ant, -ship, -age, -ery и другие.
Это не значит, что у всех существительных будет одно из этих окончаний. Окончание может быть другим, а еще его может не быть вовсе. Но наличие такого окончания будет явно указывать на часть речи. Например: devotion (преданность), embarrassment (смущение) и так далее.
А вот типичные окончания прилагательных: -able, -ible, -ic, -ive, -full, -less и другие.
Опять же, не все прилагательные можно так легко вычислить. У слова sad, например, окончания вовсе нет. Зато у многих других есть. Например: abominable (противный), cheerless (безрадостный), repulsive (омерзительный) и другие. Часто у прилагательных можно встретить окончание -ed. Это означает, что они образованы от совершенного0 глагола, и по сути являются причастиями. Например: tired (уставший), amazed (пораженный).

List of Emotions | Infographic
Here is the ESL infographic of the list of emotions:
В этой статье разберем слова, выражения, идиомы и фразовые глаголы, которые используют носители языка для выражения эмоций: от восторга до глубокой печали.
Когда эмоции переполняют, часто не хватает слов, чтобы описать свое состояние. Если вы пропустили последний автобус, наступили в глубокую лужу и вдобавок потеряли ключи от квартиры, сказать, что вам грустно (I’m sad!) будет просто преступлением! А во время путешествия по Италии, когда каждый день наполнен приключениями и открытиями, хочется использовать более сильные выражения, чем обычное I’m happy! (Я счастлив!).
Радость
I’m happy — первое, что приходит в голову, когда нужно сказать по-английски, что вы счастливы. Давайте рассмотрим, как правильно использовать фразу to be happy, и выучим другие слова и выражения для описания радостных эмоций.
- Чтобы сказать, что вы рады что-то сделать, используйте фразу to be happy to do something или happy to be doing something:
I’m very happy to see you. — Я очень рада тебя видеть!
All the kids were extremely happy to be taking part in the contest. — Все дети были очень рады принять участие в конкурсе. - Когда вы радуетесь из-за того, что случилось что-то хорошее, вы можете использовать фразу to be happy that something has happened:
I’m happy that I have had my car finally repaired. — Я так счастлив, что мою машину наконец отремонтировали.
- Если вы счастливы из-за чего-то, используйте фразу to be happy about something:
I’m so happy about being hired. — Я так счастлива, что меня приняли на работу.
- Если вы очень рады за кого-то, можно использовать фразу to happy for someone:
I can’t explain how happy I am for you. — Не могу передать, как я рада за тебя.
В таблице ниже мы собрали слова и выражения, которые вы можете использовать, чтобы выразить радость на английском.

Гнев и злость
Даже такие негативные эмоции, как раздражение и злость нужно уметь описывать на английском. Еще на начальных уровнях вы выучили выражения I’m angry (я зол) и I feel angry (я зол), а сегодня мы немного расширим ваш словарный запас новой лексикой:
- Чтобы сказать, что вы сердитесь на кого-то, используйте фразу to be angry at/with:
I was so angry at him as he hadn’t told me his plans. — Я так рассердилась на него из-за того, что он не рассказал мне о своих планах.
- Если вы рассержены из-за чего-то, используйте предлог about:
I don’t understand what Tom’s angry about. — Я не понимаю, из-за чего Том так рассержен.
Слово | Перевод | Пример |

Страх
Как и любая другая эмоция, страх может отражать множество оттенков: от легкого испуга до настоящего ужаса. Для начала разберем самые распространенные прилагательные со значением «испуганный» — afraid, frightened и scared:
- Чтобы сказать, что вы боитесь кого-то или чего-то, используйте фразу to be afraid/frightened/scared of:
A lot of people are afraid of spiders. — Много людей боятся пауков.
She was frightened of her boss. — Она боялась своего начальника. - Если вы боитесь сделать что-то, свои чувства можно выразить с помощью фразы to be afraid/frightened/scared to do something:
I was afraid to show anyone my scars. — Я боялась показать кому-то свои шрамы.
The child was too scared to talk. — Ребенок был слишком напуган, чтобы говорить.
Между словами frightened, scared и afraid есть небольшая разница в употреблении. Scared звучит менее формально, чем frightened, поэтому именного его вы с большей вероятностью услышите в речи носителей языка, а вот afraid — наиболее формальный вариант из всех синонимов.
Слово | Перевод | Пример |
---|---|---|
alarmed | встревоженный | She was alarmed as she had to perform in front of an audience. — Она была встревожена, поскольку она должна была выступить перед аудиторией. |

petrified | оцепеневший от страха | Bank employees were petrified with fear when they saw a robber with a gun. — Работники банка оцепенели от страха, когда увидели грабителя с оружием. |
to be scared stiff/scared to death (informal) | быть напуганным до смерти | I had to make a speech, and I was scared to death. — Я должен был произнести речь, поэтому был напуган до смерти. |
to freeze up | замереть от страха | I didn’t know what to do. I just froze up. — Я не знала, что делать. Я просто замерла от страха. |
Растерянность
Если вы никак не можете ни на чем сосредоточиться, все валится из рук, и вам надо рассказать об этом на английском — воспользуйтесь фразами и выражениями из таблицы.
Слово | Перевод | Пример |
---|---|---|
confused | растерянный | She was rather confused by his words. — Она была довольна растеряна после его слов. |

dazed | растерянный, не способный четко мыслить | You’re looking a bit dazed — has something happened? — Ты выглядишь немного растерянной. Что-то случилось? |

to be at a loss | растерянный, в замешательстве | He was at a loss which tie to choose. — Он был в замешательстве, какой галстук выбрать. |
Волнение
Кроме worried (обеспокоенный) есть еще много прилагательных, которые помогут вам описать чувство волнения и тревоги на английском.
Слово | Перевод | Пример |
---|---|---|
worried | обеспокоенный | I was so worried that I couldn’t think straight. — Я так беспокоилась, что не могла нормально мыслить. |

uneasy | беспокойный, напряженный, чувствующий дискомфорт | When Mary wasn’t home by midnight, I began to feel uneasy. — Когда Мэри не было дома к полуночи, мне стало неспокойно. |
concerned (formal) | озабоченный, обеспокоенный | He was really concerned to hear that his wife had had an accident. — Он был очень обеспокоен, узнав, что его жена попала в аварию. |

troubled | озабоченный | Are you okay? You look a bit troubled. — У тебя все в порядке? Ты выглядишь немного озабоченным. |
Обратите внимание, что слово anxious обычно используется, когда говорят об общем чувстве беспокойства и тревожности без видимой причины. Однако оно более формальное, чем worried.
Удивление
Как быть, если случилось что-то удивительное и вам надо сказать об этом на английском, но слово surprised (удивленный) и близко не может передать ваши эмоции? Интересные варианты вы найдете в следующей таблице.
Слово | Перевод | Пример |
---|---|---|
surprised | удивленный | Nobody was surprised when they married. — Никто не удивился, когда они поженились. |
amazed | изумленный, крайне удивленный | You’ll be amazed when you see my wedding dress. — Ты будешь очень удивлена, когда увидишь мое свадебное платье. |

gobsmacked (informal) | ошеломленный | I was absolutely gobsmacked when I saw my exam results. — Я был ошеломлен, когда увидел свои результаты экзамена. |
Смотрите, сколько замен можно найти привычным словам! Старайтесь использовать новую лексику — вы будете звучать более красиво и естественно. Учиться описывать свои эмоции на английском можно на групповых уроках с преподавателем в клубе Skills. Занятия проходят ежедневно с утра до вечера.

Categories of Emotions
The list of emotions a typical pre-K child understands may be limited to happy, mad, sad, and scared (Harter, S., & Buddin, B. J.), but as they grow, the list expands, and they develop a more nuanced vocabulary to explain how they feel.
Over the past 40 years, several frameworks have emerged to describe and categorize emotions. There is the Plutchik Wheel of Emotions, Ekmans’ Atlas of Emotions, and many others, but for this article, we are sharing a tree-like framework created by Dr. Phillip Shaver and his colleagues at the University of Denver.
In 1987, Shaver and his colleagues published Emotion Knowledge: Further Exploration of a Prototype Approach where they outlined a three-level hierarchy of emotions and categorized words within that hierarchy. In the paper, they identified six primary emotions: Anger, Fear, Joy, Love, Sadness, and Surprise – And they identified 25 secondary emotions and 135 words that represent more descriptive tertiary emotions.
Here is the complete list of emotions and how they are categorized:
- Anger
- Disgust: Contempt, disgust, revulsion
- Envy: Envy, jealousy
- Exasperation: Exasperation, frustration
- Irritation: Aggravation, agitation, annoyance, grouchiness, grumpiness, irritation

Teaching Emotional Literacy
Featured Lessons
To assist you as you help students understand emotions, we have created a series of lessons, activities worksheets, and printables. Many of these include characters and scenarios from our online SEL interventions. While you aren’t required to use our online programs in order to use the lessons, you can request a Free Trial here.
Emotional Spectrum
It’s important that students learn to identify the degree of emotion they are feeling and use words that are more descriptive than mad, sad, happy, etc.
In these worksheets, students will read emotion words that describe the range of one emotion and identify situations that make them feel that way.
Identifying Emotions Activity
Identifying and managing feelings requires that we respond to emotional situations in a socially acceptable manner, and research shows that children who are good at identifying and managing their emotions feel better about themselves and have more successful friendships.
This identifying emotions activity will students learn to recognize the physical signs associated with different emotions.
Anger Thermometer
Everyone feels angry from time to time, and it can be an overwhelming emotion. And like other emotions, anger comes in different strengths or degrees.
Using this anger thermometer worksheet, students will reflect on situations where they feel angry and brainstorm ideas for how to calm down.
Emotion Faces
These emotion faces worksheets will help your students evaluate facial expressions and associate those expressions with a range of emotions.
In the lesson, we use characters from our online SEL game, Adventures Aboard the SS GRIN to illustrate the following feelings: angry, anxious, bored, confused, happy, impatient, sad, scared, and surprised.
