Coming out of something dangerous with no harm done. The important part is the story around it: unscathed only makes sense when something bad happened and you expected damage.

Coming out of something dangerous從危險的事情中脫身 with no harm done而完全沒有受到傷害 The important part重要的部分 is the story around it是它背後的情境 unscathedunscathed only makes sense只有在這種情況下才說得通 when something bad happened and you expected damage就是發生了壞事，而你原本預期會有損害

The car was destroyed, but the driver walked away unscathed. You would never say "I sat at home unscathed" — there was nothing to survive.

The car was destroyed車子被毀了 but the driver walked away unscathed但駕駛卻毫髮無傷地走出來 You would never say你絕對不會說 "I sat at home unscathed"「I sat at home unscathed（我毫髮無傷地坐在家裡）」 there was nothing to survive因為根本沒有什麼需要「逃過一劫」的

It works for bodies (nobody was hurt) and, just as often, for reputations, companies and careers: the minister emerged unscathed from the scandal; few banks came through the crisis unscathed.

It works for bodies它可以用在身體上 (nobody was hurt沒人受傷) and, just as often而且一樣常用 for reputations, companies and careers在名譽、公司和事業上 the minister emerged unscathed from the scandal部長從醜聞中全身而退 few banks came through the crisis unscathed很少有銀行毫髮無傷地撐過那場危機

Notice the verbs that go with it: emerge, escape, survive, come through, walk away, get out. It nearly always sits after one of those, or after a form of be. It is not really used in front of a noun — "an unscathed man" sounds wrong; "he was unscathed" sounds right.

Notice注意 the verbs that go with it跟它搭配的動詞 emerge, escape, survive, come through, walk away, get out (逃出、逃過、倖存、撐過、全身而退、脫身) It nearly always sits它幾乎都會出現在 after one of those在這些動詞之後 or after a form of be或是be動詞之後 It is not really used它其實不太用 in front of a noun放在名詞前面 "an unscathed man" sounds wrong「an unscathed man」聽起來就怪怪的 "he was unscathed" sounds right「he was unscathed」才是自然的說法

It is somewhat formal and much more common in writing and news reports than in daily talk. A friend would say "he's fine" or "not a scratch on him." Writers often stretch it a little for effect: relatively unscathed, largely unscathed, not entirely unscathed — which quietly admit that there was some damage after all.

It is somewhat formal它算是有點正式的用字 and much more common而且在 in writing and news reports寫作和新聞報導裡 than in daily talk比在日常對話裡常見很多 A friend would say一個朋友會說 "he's fine"「he's fine（他沒事）」 or "not a scratch on him."或「not a scratch on him（他身上一點傷都沒有）」 Writers often stretch it a little for effect作家常會稍微延伸這個字來加強效果 relatively unscathed相對毫髮無傷 largely unscathed大致毫髮無傷 not entirely unscathed並非完全毫髮無傷 which quietly admit這些說法其實悄悄承認了 that there was some damage after all終究還是有一些損害
