John had his leg ______ when he fell from the bike.
Which of the following words is NOT suitable?
A. knocked
B. broken
C. injured
D. hurt
答案是A
但是hurt不是指情感上的伤害,心灵创伤吗?这里为什么对啊?
參考答案:Hurt 不一定只是指感情上的伤害. 这只是 hurt 的引伸义.
Hurt 的基本意义也与 injure 一样,那就是弄痛;受伤. 所以在这里的句子, Johnny had his leg hurt when he fell from his bike, 意思就是, Johnny 他从脚车上摔倒时伤了腿.
因此, hurt 在这里的用法是对的.
那么,你所说的 hurt 指感情上的伤害,心灵创伤是 hurt 的另一意义.那是用在对于描述感情上造成的创伤和痛苦.英文说法是 Hurt or damage to feelings or emotions.
希望我能解决你的疑惑.
