Feifei
大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。I’m Feifei.

Beth
And I’m Beth. We have a word that means ‘shocked’ or ‘surprised’. It can be when you’re scared or when you’re excited. And the word is ‘shook’.

Feifei
Shook. “Shook” 這個詞可以用來表示 “驚慌失措的” 或者 “激動不已的”。But Beth, how do we actually use it?

Beth
OK, well. It’s commonly seen in the phrase ‘I was shook’. And I know this sounds a bit strange because normally ‘shook’ is used as the past tense of ‘shake’. But here it’s being used as an adjective, similar to the use of ‘shaken’. And it’s used for unexpected situations.

首先，大傢要註意，由於 “shook” 是動詞 “shake” 的過去式，所以 “shook” 作形容詞的這個用法相對特殊。“Shook” 作形容詞的用法類似於 “shaken”，用來描述 “一個人因為受到驚嚇而感到震驚或感到興奮”。The other day, I was in a shop, I turned around, and there was a man right behind me. I was shook. I thought I was alone!

Beth
That does sound scary. Something similar happened to me. I was here at work, and I could feel that someone was standing right behind me. I turned around and it was a singer I absolutely love! I was like ‘I’m shook’.

Feifei
Crazy! 在用 “shook” 形容 “某人驚慌失措的表現” 的時候，這個人一定是 “因為受到驚嚇而感到驚慌失措”。

Beth
That’s right. Let’s hear some more examples.

Examples
Look at this pie I made. Isn’t it good? I’m shook.

I was just falling asleep when I remembered I hadn’t done my homework. I was shook.

I gave my cat a new toy, and I’ve never seen her so excited. She was shook.

你正在收聽的是 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。剛剛我們聽瞭三個使用瞭形容詞 “shook” 的例句。

Beth
Now, here in the UK, this word is most commonly said and written by young people, especially teenagers. So, it’s very common to see it on social media.

Feifei
Yes. For example, a video of someone doing a crazy stunt might have hashtag ‘shook’ with it.

Beth
Yes. Now, I need to go because I need to post something on social media, actually. And when you see it, Feifei, you’ll be shook. See you later.

Feifei
Bye!
