Risposta del madrelingua

If someone is worked up it means that the person is really startled, excited, or surprised. In this case, the boy is both startled and surprised. Se qualcuno ha fatto worked up, significa che qualcuno è molto eccitato (excited) o sorpreso (startled, surprised). Mowgli era sbalordito. Ex: I was very worked up to see my cat again. (Sono rimasto così sorpreso di rivedere il mio gatto.) Ex: The man really got worked up when his baseball team won. (Era davvero entusiasta quando la sua squadra di baseball ha vinto.)
