被壓力拉到極限
這一邊是日常生活把人拉緊:事情一件接一件,睡不夠又放不下心。
adjective · C1
Very tired and worried at the same time, usually after a long stretch of pressure, so that you feel close to your limit.
疲憊緊繃
Picture a string pulled out long and tight, stretched to where one more pull would snap it. Both uses of strung-out describe a person in that state: stretched past the point where they can work normally. In one, a drug has done the stretching; in the other, weeks of pressure and lost sleep have. This is a way of holding the two meanings together, not a claim about where the word came from.
