bitten 是动词 bite 的过去分词形式,读音为英 [ˈbɪtn]、美 [ˈbɪtn],核心含义是“咬、叮”,可描述动物或昆虫的攻击行为,也用于比喻“上当”或“对某事入迷”。

一、基础用法

字面意义:被咬、被叮
表示被动物、昆虫或利器伤害,需用被动语态“be bitten by”结构。

被狗咬伤:The postman was bitten by a fierce dog.(邮递员被一只恶狗咬了)

被跳蚤叮咬:I must have been bitten by a flea, my arms are itchy.(我肯定被跳蚤咬了,胳膊很痒)

被鲨鱼咬断:The blade of the oar was bitten off by a shark.(桨叶被鲨鱼咬掉了)

比喻意义:上当、入迷

受骗:I got bitten in a mail order swindle.(我在邮购诈骗中上当了)

对某事着迷(搭配 be bitten by the bug):He's been bitten by the travel bug.(他迷上了旅游)

二、常见短语搭配

 

短语 含义 例句
be bitten by 被……咬;对……入迷 She was bitten by the family dog.(她被家里的狗咬了)
once bitten, twice shy 一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳 She certainly won't marry again—once bitten, twice shy.(她肯定不再结婚了——所谓一朝被蛇咬,十年怕井绳)
bitten by the bug 对某事着迷 She was never interested in fitness before but now she's been bitten by the bug.(她以前对健身不感兴趣,现在却着迷了)

三、实用例句

动物伤害:Every year in this country more than 50,000 children are bitten by dogs.(该国每年有超过5万名儿童被狗咬伤)

昆虫叮咬:I was bitten by mosquitoes last night.(我昨晚被蚊子叮了)

意外受伤:He had been bitten by a venomous snake during a hike.(他徒步时被毒蛇咬了)

兴趣入迷:John's taken up stamp-collecting; he seems really bitten by it.(约翰开始集邮,好像真入迷了)

从字面的“咬伤”到比喻的“着迷”,bitten 的用法体现了英语中“具体动作→抽象状态”的语义延伸。下次描述被动物伤害或对新爱好狂热时,不妨试试这个词——但记得,若真被蛇咬,可别只说“once bitten”,及时就医才最重要!
