- 1（叫聲、笑聲、嗓音）哽住的、被硬生生掐斷的；喉嚨發緊而擠出來的那種聲音。
Used of a sound — a cry, a laugh, a sob, a shout — 'strangled' means it came out but was cut off before it finished, so it sounds tight, small and choked. 'She gave a strangled cry and covered her mouth.' 'He made a strangled sound, half laugh, half sob.' The idea is that something is squeezing the sound in the throat: fear, tears, shock, or the person deliberately holding it back because they must not be heard. So a strangled laugh is not a free laugh — it is a laugh someone is trying to swallow. Writers love this word because it tells you the emotion and the effort to hide it in one stroke. It can also describe a voice: 'in a strangled voice' means thick and constricted with feeling. The literal sense is behind it — to strangle is to kill by squeezing the throat — and the sound word borrows exactly that squeezing, without anyone being hurt. It is used mostly in written narrative, not in casual conversation.
From the word’s history
strangle + -ed; from Old French estrangler, from Latin strangulō, from Greek.
strangle 加 -ed；源自拉丁文 strangulō「勒死」。
組成strangle（勒住脖子、使窒息）+ -ed。聲音像是「在喉嚨裡被掐住」，所以出不完整。
