1. 1aB1/əˈfendɪd/被冒犯的;覺得受辱而生氣的

    Angry and upset because of what someone said or did, especially when it felt rude to you or made you feel that you were not respected.

    示範例句 · Example

    Aisha will be offended if you forget to thank her for all her help.

    逐字如果你忘記為了她所有的幫忙謝謝她,愛莎會被冒犯。

    「offended」講的是「被別人的話或行為惹到」之後的心情——不只是生氣,還帶著「我被看輕了、不被尊重」的那種刺刺的感覺。跟 angry 比,angry 只說生氣,offended 一定有個「誰說了什麼、做了什麼」惹到你。offend、offensive、offended 三個字容易混,可以想成:offend 是那個動作,offensive 形容那句話或那件事,offended 則是被弄到的人現在的感覺。後面常接 by(被什麼冒犯)或 that + 句子。
