1. 1一副被打垮的樣子、心灰意冷(不是比賽輸了的「戰敗」)

    Here defeated is not we lost the match. It paints a person who looks or feels beaten down: sad, slumped, out of fight, as if the problems have already won. You might see a defeated look after a long, hard week, or hear a defeated voice that has stopped trying. It can follow a real loss, but it can also be only a feeling — nobody has to have beaten you in a game. Kind people notice this look; it is a description of how empty and tired someone seems, not a score on a board. The same spelling is also the ordinary past of defeat (Our team was defeated 3–1), but this entry is the sad, unable-to-cope sense.

    這裡的 defeated 描寫的是一個看起來或感覺被打垮的人,垂頭喪氣、沒有力氣再爭,好像問題已經贏了。它不一定真的輸了什麼比賽,可以只是一種感覺,例如「a defeated look」(一副被打垮的表情)或「a defeated voice」(不再努力的聲音)。

    同樣的拼法也可以是 defeat 的過去式,指比賽輸了,例如「Our team was defeated 3–1.」,但這個條目講的是那種心灰意冷、撐不下去的樣子。
