    If you are shaken, something has upset you, shocked you, or you, and your feelings have not sat down again yet. It belongs to the verb shake: your body can shake, and your mind can feel shaken too.

    If you are shaken如果你shaken,就是 something有什麼事 has upset you讓你難過、 shocked you讓你受到衝擊、 or frightened you或讓你害怕, and而 your feelings你的情緒 have not sat down again yet還沒有平復下來。 It這個字 belongs to the verb shake跟動詞shake是同一家: your body你的身體 can shake可以shake(發抖), and而 your mind你的心 can feel shaken too也可以感到shaken(受到動搖)。

    After a crash, bad news, or a near miss, people say I was shaken or she looked shaken. It is a little more careful than I was scared, and it often means the scare has already happened and you are still carrying it.

    After a crash在車禍、 bad news壞消息、 or a near miss或千鈞一髮之後, people人們 say會說 I was shaken「I was shaken」 or或 she looked shaken「she looked shaken」。 It這個說法 is a little more careful than比 I was scared「I was scared」更謹慎一點, and而 it often means通常代表 the scare驚嚇 has already happened已經發生過了, and而 you are still carrying it你還帶著這個感覺。

    You can be physically shaken — a bus throws you about — or emotionally shaken; this sense is the emotional one, though the two sit side by side.

    You你 can be physically shaken可以是身體上的shaken —— a bus throws you about公車把你甩來甩去—— or或 emotionally shaken是情緒上的shaken; this sense這個字義 is the emotional one講的是情緒的這一種, though不過 the two sit side by side兩者常常相伴出現。

    Careful English likes shaken here, not shook, even though you will hear I was shook. Though actually, the famous drink order shaken, not stirred is the physical mixing sense; if someone uses it after bad news, they are borrowing the joke.

    Careful English講究一點的英文 likes shaken here在這裡喜歡用shaken not shook而不是shook, even though儘管 you will hear你會聽到 I was shook有人說「I was shook」。 Though actually不過其實, the famous drink order那句有名的調酒台詞 shaken, not stirred「shaken, not stirred」 is the physical mixing sense講的是物理上的搖晃; if someone如果有人 uses it after bad news在壞消息後面這樣用它 they are borrowing the joke就是在借用這個哏開玩笑。
