Two honest notes兩個老實說的提醒。First第一, some older speakers hear it as a young person's word一些年紀較大的人會覺得這是年輕人的詞 and would not say it themselves自己不會這樣說。Second第二, it comes from the verb stoke它來自動詞 stoke, to feed fuel to a fire and make it burn harder意思是把燃料加進火裡讓火燒得更旺 — so the picture inside the word is a fire being built up所以這個字裡的畫面是一團被越燒越旺的火, which is exactly the feeling而這正是那種感覺。
組成The past participle of the verb stoke, used as an adjective. To stoke a fire is to put fuel in it so it burns hotter, and stoke goes back to Dutch stoken, to push or poke fuel into a furnace. So a stoked person is, in the picture, a fire that has just been fed.
