- 1受驚的、嚇了一跳的（形容剛被嚇到的那個人或動物；程度輕）
'Startled' is the adjective describing the person or animal that has just had a sudden small shock — the state you are in for a second or two after a bang, or after someone appears beside you without a sound. Use it for people ('she looked startled'), for animals ('a startled deer'), and for the things that show the feeling: a startled look, a startled cry, startled eyes. Two patterns are common. Before a noun it is a quick description: 'There was a startled silence.' After 'look/seem/be' it reports the reaction: 'He seemed startled to see me there.' You can name the cause with 'by' — 'startled by the sudden light'. Because it is an adjective, 'very' and 'a bit' work with it: 'a bit startled'. Remember it is mild: a startled person is surprised, not terrified, and usually recovers immediately.
組成startle + -ed, the ending that turns a verb into an adjective describing the one who receives the action.
