So shocked that you cannot react — no words, no movement, just a blank moment. It is what happens in the first seconds after news you never expected, good or bad: you won; he died; she said yes. That is worth saying twice, because learners often assume it is only for bad news.

stunned是 so shocked that you cannot react震驚到沒辦法反應——no words, no movement, just a blank moment說不出話、動不了，只有一段空白的時刻。it is what happens in the first seconds after news you never expected這是聽到完全沒料到的消息後，最初幾秒鐘會發生的狀態，good or bad不管是好消息還是壞消息：you won你贏了；he died他過世了；she said yes她答應了。that is worth saying twice這點值得再說一次，because learners often assume it is only for bad news因為學習者常常以為這個字只用在壞消息上。

A 'stunned silence' after an announcement, a 'stunned' winner on stage — both are normal. The word is strong but completely ordinary; people say it every day.

a 'stunned silence' after an announcement宣布消息之後的「震驚沉默」，a 'stunned' winner on stage台上「震驚的」得獎者——both are normal這兩種都很正常。the word這個字 is strong but completely ordinary語氣很強，但完全是日常用字；people say it every day大家每天都在說。

notice the shape it takes注意它常出現的句型：'I was stunned'「我當時震驚了」、'stunned by the news'「被這消息震驚」、'left everyone stunned'「讓所有人都震驚」，and as a describing word before a noun還可以放在名詞前面當形容詞——a stunned expression震驚的表情、a stunned crowd震驚的人群。

There is also the literal use it grew from: to stun an animal is to hit it hard enough that it cannot move, and a stun gun does this with electricity. Understanding that helps — the emotional meaning is that same helpless frozen state, produced by news instead of a blow.

there is also the literal use it grew from它還有一個延伸出來的字面用法：to stun an animal把一隻動物打昏 is to hit it hard enough that it cannot move就是打得夠重讓牠不能動，and a stun gun does this with electricity電擊槍就是用電做這件事。understanding that helps了解這個有幫助——the emotional meaning is that same helpless frozen state情緒上的意思其實是同一種無助、僵住的狀態，produced by news instead of a blow只是這次是由消息造成的，不是被打造成的。
