    Not — with no wound, no broken bone, no physical damage, especially after something dangerous has happened. A car crash, a fall, a fire, an attack: the news says the driver escaped unhurt, the children were found unhurt.

    Not injured —沒有受傷— with no wound, no broken bone, no physical damage,沒有傷口、沒有骨折、沒有任何身體上的損傷 especially after something dangerous has happened尤其是在發生了什麼危險的事情之後。A car crash, a fall, a fire, an attack:車禍、跌倒、火災、攻擊事件: the news says the driver escaped unhurt,新聞會說司機毫髮無傷地逃出來 the children were found unhurt孩子們被尋獲時都平安無事。

    Notice where the word lives. You almost never say 'an unhurt man'; you say someone WAS unhurt, escaped unhurt, walked away unhurt, emerged unhurt. It sits after the verb, and it nearly always follows an event that could easily have somebody.

    Notice where the word lives注意這個詞出現的位置。You almost never say 'an unhurt man';你幾乎不會說 'an unhurt man'; you say someone WAS unhurt, escaped unhurt, walked away unhurt, emerged unhurt你會說某人 WAS unhurt、escaped unhurt、walked away unhurt、emerged unhurt。It sits after the verb,它放在動詞後面 and it nearly always follows an event而且幾乎都是跟在一個事件後面 that could easily have injured somebody這個事件原本很可能會讓人受傷。

    That is why it feels like news-report English: it is the word for reporting the good outcome of a bad moment.

    It is the plain everyday partner of the more formal 'uninjured' and the more official 'unharmed'. All three overlap, but 'unharmed' also covers things (the paintings were unharmed by the flood) and can mean 'not damaged in any way', while 'unhurt' is really about bodies.

    One small thing worth knowing: because the verb 'hurt' also covers feelings, you may occasionally see 'unhurt' used about emotions — 'she seemed strangely unhurt by his words'. It is understood, but the physical meaning is what people expect.
