stunned(形容词)常指震惊得说不出话、目瞪口呆;也可指因打击、强光或巨响而短暂发懵/失去反应。(对应动词 stun:使震惊;使昏眩)
/stʌnd/

我被这个消息震惊了。
She stood there, stunned, as the crowd began to cheer and the lights flashed all around her.
当人群开始欢呼、灯光在她周围闪烁时,她站在那里,震惊得一时说不出话来。
stunned 来自动词 stun。stun 在中古英语中与“使人发懵/震住”相关,历史上也与表示“雷鸣、轰响”的词根有联系,语义从“被巨响震到发懵”逐渐扩展为“被消息或情境震惊得失去反应”。它与 astonish(使震惊)在来源上也有一定关联。
