Synonyms & Differences 近义词辨析

Compared meaning: feeling upset or worried because of trouble (adjective).

比较义项:因烦扰而心神不宁、情绪低落(形容词)。

  • troubled

    Troubled describes worry or unease, often caused by a single specific problem or event, without implying repeated pestering or exhaustion.

    troubled 表示因某件具体的事而感到担忧、心神不宁,通常只是一次性的烦恼,并不暗示持续不断的打扰或疲惫。

    He seemed troubled by the doctor's ambiguous diagnosis.

    医生含糊不清的诊断似乎让他感到烦恼不安。

  • harassed 本词

    Harassed describes tiredness and irritation caused by continuous, repeated demands or interruptions, not a single worry.

    harassed 表示由于持续不断的要求或打扰(如电话、催促)而感到疲惫和恼怒,而不只是因某件事而担忧。

    She felt harassed by constant phone calls from telemarketers.

    她因为推销员不断打来的电话而感到心烦意乱、疲惫不堪。

Both adjectives describe negative feelings caused by trouble, but differently. Troubled means worried or uneasy, often because of one specific problem or event, without repeated bothering. Harassed means tired and irritated because of continuous, repeated demands or interruptions, not just one worry.

troubled 泛指因某件具体的事而感到担忧、心神不宁,可能只是一次性的烦恼;harassed 则强调因持续不断的要求或打扰(如电话、催促)而感到疲惫和恼怒,语气更重,并突出“持续性”。两者都描述因烦扰产生的负面情绪,但起因和感受重点不同。
