worn
★
🇺🇸 /wˈɔɹn/
🇬🇧 /woːn/
worn 是形容词,主要表示东西因长期使用而显得破旧,也可表示人因劳累而筋疲力尽。
💡 记忆钩子
想象一件衣服被反复使用:布料先被“磨旧”,人也可能被工作和生活“磨累”。因此 worn 从物品的破旧延伸到人的疲惫不堪。
📝 学习建议
- 先掌握“物品破旧”和“人精疲力竭”这两个核心义,不要把 worn 只理解成 wear 的过去式。
- 注意 worn 常带有长期消耗后的感觉;一般短暂的“累”不一定要用它。
📖 中文释义
adj
-
core 磨旧的;破旧的📖 东西被反复使用、摩擦或经历时间后,表面显得旧、磨损,甚至有些寒酸,就可以说它是 worn。它保留着“被消耗过”的感觉。💡 常用模式是“worn + 衣物/物品”,也可说“look worn”。这个词通常描述外观因使用而变旧,不单纯表示年代久远;修饰人时不要误解为“穿着某物”。He was carrying a worn leather bag.他拎着一个磨旧的皮包。The old sofa looks worn but still feels comfortable.那张旧沙发看起来有些破旧,但坐起来仍然很舒服。
-
core 疲惫不堪的📖 人被长时间的工作、压力或奔波消耗得筋疲力尽时,可以说这个人是 worn。这里的核心仍是“被磨损”,只是磨损对象从物品变成了人的精力。💡 常用模式是“feel/look/seem worn”或“the worn + 人”。它比一般的“累”更强调持续劳累后的状态,常可与表示“完全、极度”的词连用。不要把 worn out 机械地当成普通 worn 的唯一形式;两者在程度和语气上可能不同。After weeks of travel, she looked worn and needed a quiet evening.连续旅行了几周后,她看起来疲惫不堪,需要一个安静的晚上。The worn workers finally took a long break.那些筋疲力尽的工人终于长时间休息了一会儿。
