screwed

形容处境糟糕、几乎无法摆脱；在较旧的英国俚语中也可指喝醉。

💡 记忆钩子

想象自己被螺丝越拧越紧：局面被逼到无路可走，就是“倒霉透了、陷入困境”；旧英国俚语还把这种失控状态延伸为“醉得厉害”。

📝 学习建议

日常学习时先掌握“陷入困境、这下完了”的核心义；“喝醉”这一义较旧且带英国俚语色彩。
它不是字面上的“被拧过的”，也不宜在正式场合随意使用；核心义本身带粗俗或不雅色彩。

📖 中文释义

adj

core 陷入绝境；这下完了

📖 指某人因为不利情况而被逼到几乎没有办法挽回的地步，常带有“这下麻烦大了”或“彻底完了”的语气。

💡 常用结构是“主语 + be screwed”或“如果……，主语 + will be screwed”。这是非正式俚语，语气较粗俗，正式场合可改用表示“陷入困境”的较中性说法。不要把它理解成普通的“有点困难”，也不要用它表示物品只是损坏。

mildly slang vulgar

If the bank rejects our loan, we're screwed.

如果银行拒绝我们的贷款，我们就彻底完了。

They found out about our plan, so now we're screwed.

他们发现了我们的计划，所以我们现在陷入绝境了。
rare 喝醉的

📖 在较旧的英国俚语中，指因饮酒而醉醺醺、状态失控；这种用法如今很少见。

💡 通常作表语，放在“be”后面描述人的状态。它带有英国俚语和过时色彩，现代英语中不应把它当作表示“喝醉”的常用词。不要根据核心义把它理解为“处境糟糕”，这里说的是酒精造成的状态。

🌳 词源

源自动词 screw 加形容词后缀 -ed。原先带有“施压、胁迫”的意味，后来发展为“被逼入绝境”；“喝醉”义则与表示古怪或失控的相关说法联系在一起。

From screw + -ed. * The modern sense of screwed originates in the mid-1600s with a sense of to screw as a means of "exerting pressure or coercion", probably in reference to instruments of torture (e.g. thumbscrews). It quickly gained a wider general sense of "in a bind; in unfortunate inescapable circumstances". When the verb screw gained a sexual connotation in the early 1700s, it joined the long-lasting association of sexual imagery as a metaphor for domination, leading to screwed gaining synonyms like fucked and shagged. On a more general note, this is a prime example of the frequent tendency for verb participles to evolve into participial adjectives. * The sense meaning "intoxicated" is from the early 1800s, and is associated with the term screwy, and the idiom to have a screw loose.
