In this use, choked means very upset — so full of feeling that you can hardly speak. Someone might say “I was choked” after bad news, or, though actually, after something kind as well: a thank-you speech, a goodbye, a surprise. The feeling sits in the throat, which is why English took the word from choke.

In this use, choked means very upset在這個用法裡，choked的意思是非常難過——— so full of feeling that you can hardly speak.情緒滿到幾乎說不出話來。Someone might say "I was choked" after bad news,有人可能在聽到壞消息之後說「I was choked」，or, though actually, after something kind as well:不過其實，聽到溫暖的事情之後也會這樣說：a thank-you speech, a goodbye, a surprise.一段感謝的話、一次道別、一個驚喜。The feeling sits in the throat,這種感覺就卡在喉嚨裡，which is why English took the word from choke.這也是為什麼英文從choke（哽住）這個字借來用。

This use is informal. You hear it more in British English than in careful American writing. Friends say it; a doctor would not write it on a form.

It is not food stuck in your throat, and it is not the sports use where “he choked” means he failed because the moment was too big. Same spelling, different job.

It is not food stuck in your throat,它不是指食物卡在喉嚨裡，and it is not the sports use where "he choked" means he failed because the moment was too big.也不是體育用語裡「he choked」那種意思——場面太大而搞砸了。Same spelling, different job.拼法一樣，功能不同。
