Here martyred describes a look or expression, not a death. A martyred look is an unhappy face put on so that other people will feel sorry for you — as if you are bearing a heavy load and everyone ought to notice. “She gave him a martyred look” means her face said “see how much I put up with.” It is a little sharp and a little funny; you use it when you think the person is laying the suffering on thick.

Here在這裡,martyred describes a look or expression martyred形容的是一種表情或神情,not a death而不是死亡。A martyred look一種martyred的表情,is an unhappy face put on是刻意擺出來的不開心臉,so that other people will feel sorry for you好讓別人同情你——as if you are bearing a heavy load好像你正扛著沉重的負擔,and everyone ought to notice大家都應該注意到。「She gave him a martyred look」(她給了他一個martyred的表情)means her face said意思是她的表情在說,"see how much I put up with."「看看我忍受了多少」。It它is a little sharp and a little funny帶點尖銳、也帶點好笑;you use it when you think the person is laying the suffering on thick用在你覺得對方把苦難演得太過頭的時候。

The feeling comes from the picture of a martyr, but this use is about acting, not about dying. Though actually the same spelling is also the ordinary past form of martyr, “killed for a belief”; this sense is the face that asks for pity.

The feeling comes from the picture of a martyr這種感覺來自「martyr(殉道者)」的畫面,but this use is about acting但這個用法講的是「表演」,not about dying而不是「死亡」。Though actually不過,the same spelling同樣的拼法,is also the ordinary past form of martyr也是martyr(殉道者)的一般過去式,"killed for a belief"意思是「為了信念被殺」;this sense而這裡討論的這個意思,is the face that asks for pity指的是那種討拍的表情。
