TOEFLB1
释义
adj.
Extremely tired; completely drained of energy
精疲力竭的
adj.
Completely used up (of a supply or resource)
耗尽的,用光的
词根拆分
词根派生exhaust 的过去分词作形容词:「被抽得空空的」。指人是精力耗尽,指储备是全部用光。
词根 haust 还连着 5 个词使用指南
强度:exhausted 比 tired 强得多——指彻底被抽空、撑不下去。作为情绪词常搭 completely/utterly/totally;严谨用法不用 very(口语中 very exhausted 也常见)。

易混词辨析
exhausted 与 exhausting——exhausted 描述你的感受(I am exhausted);exhausting 描述起因(the trip was exhausting)。经典 -ed/-ing 形容词陷阱:-ed = 受影响的人,-ing = 造成影响的事物。
