pissed

Compared meaning: drunk from alcohol (adjective).

比较义项：喝醉了的（形容词）。

• drunk

  The plain, neutral word for being affected by alcohol; it works both before a noun and after a linking verb, and fits almost any context, including formal ones like legal or medical reports.

  drunk是表示喝醉的中性、常用词，既能放在名词前，也能放在系动词后，几乎适用于任何语境，包括法律、医疗报告这类正式场合。

  He was arrested for driving while drunk last night.

  他昨晚因醉酒驾车被逮捕了。

• drunken

  Used almost only before a noun (a drunken man, a drunken sailor), rarely after a linking verb; it has a slightly literary tone and often describes behavior caused by drink.

  drunken几乎只用作定语，放在名词前（如a drunken man、a drunken sailor），很少作表语；语气略带文学性，常用来描述醉酒引起的行为。

  The drunken sailor stumbled through the harbor, still singing loudly.

  那个喝醉的水手摇摇晃晃地走过港口，还在大声唱歌。

• pissed 本词

  British informal slang for drunk, common in casual speech; in American English pissed alone usually means angry instead, so listeners rely on context to tell the meanings apart.

  pissed是英式非正式俚语，口语中很常见；在美式英语里，pissed单独使用时通常表示“生气的”，需结合语境判断具体含义。

  After six pints he was properly pissed by closing time.

  喝了六品脱啤酒后，到打烊时他已经彻底喝醉了。

• plastered

  Informal slang that stresses an extreme degree of drunkenness, close to completely incapacitated; casual and vivid, common in stories about parties or heavy drinking.

  plastered是非正式俚语，强调喝醉的程度极深，接近完全不能自理，语气随意生动，常出现在聚会或狂饮的故事里。

  We got completely plastered at Dave's birthday party last weekend.

  上周末在戴夫的生日聚会上，我们喝得烂醉如泥。

Drunk, drunken, pissed, and plastered all mean affected by alcohol. Drunk is the most neutral and common word. Drunken is usually used only before a noun. Pissed and plastered are more informal. In American English, pissed usually means angry; that meaning is not compared here.

这几个词在“喝醉的”这一义项上很接近，但语域和用法不同：drunk最中性常用，drunken通常只作定语，pissed和plastered更口语化、非正式，且pissed在美式英语中常表示“生气的”，这里不比较该义项。
