trapped

Compared meaning: unable to leave, held or stuck somewhere (adjective).

• captive

  Captive implies someone deliberately holds it prisoner or confines it, often institutionally or long-term, as with zoo animals or prisoners.

  captive 强调被俘获者或机构故意关押、控制，往往是长期甚至永久的状态，如动物园里的动物或囚犯。

  Zoo visitors often forget that a captive tiger will never hunt in the wild again.

  动物园游客常常忘记，被圈养的老虎再也无法在野外捕猎了。

• trapped 本词

  Trapped implies being stuck and unable to escape a place or situation, usually by accident or temporarily, with no deliberate captor implied.

  trapped 强调被困在某个地方或处境中、无法逃脱，通常是意外或暂时的情况，并不暗示有人故意囚禁。

  Firefighters rescued a family trapped inside their car after the flood.

  洪水过后，消防员救出了被困在车里的一家人。

Both describe being unable to leave, but the cause differs. Captive implies someone deliberately holds it prisoner, often long-term, as with zoo animals or prisoners. Trapped implies being stuck by accident or temporarily, with no captor implied. Captive's noun sense, meaning a prisoner, isn't compared.

captive 强调被俘获者或机构故意长期关押、控制，常用于动物园的动物或囚犯；trapped 强调被困在某处或某种处境中、无法逃脱，通常是意外或暂时的状况，并不暗示有人故意囚禁。这里不比较 captive 作名词表示“俘虏”的用法。
