阿德勒认为,愤怒的情绪是人们自己制造出来的,是人们用来达到某种目的的工具。
It is solely that you got angry so that you could shout. In other words, in order to fulfill the goal of shouting, you created the emotion of anger.
Yesterday afternoon, I was reading a book in a coffee shop when a waiter passed by and spilled coffee on my jacket. I’d just bought it and it’s my nicest piece of clothing. I couldn’t help it, I just blew my top. I yelled at him at the top of my lungs. I’m not normally the type of person who speaks loudly in public places. But yesterday, the shop was ringing with the sound of my shouting because I flew into a rage and forgot what I was doing.
昨天下午我在咖啡店看书的时候,从我身边经过的服务员不小心把咖啡洒到了我的衣服上。那可是我刚刚下狠心买的一件好衣服啊。勃然大怒的我忍不住大发雷霆。平时的我从不在公共场合大声喧哗,唯独昨天,我愤怒的声音几乎传遍了店里的每一个角落。我想那应该是因为过于愤怒而忘记了自我吧。

The goal of shouting came before anything else. That is to say, by shouting, you wanted to make the waiter submit to you and listen to what you had to say. As a means to do that, you fabricated the emotion of anger.
