 moroseness
 不高興

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Mo·rose·ness, n. Sourness of temper; sulenness.
    Learn good humor, never to oppose without just reason; abate some degrees of pride and moroseness.   --I. Watts.
 Note: ☞ Moroseness is not precisely peevishness or fretfulness, though often accompanied with it. It denotes more of silence and severity, or ill-humor, than the irritability or irritation which characterizes peevishness.
