請問「他們飽受驚嚇」的英文要怎麼呢?-----
版主嘗試以"They were suffered scare completely."一句來表達，猜測應該是從"飽受"這裡來思考的，角度不錯．那循版主的用字"suffer"來看，照該字的正確用法，「他們飽受驚嚇」可以這樣說：
They suffered from complete(或total) shock. (字面意思約當"徹底承受著驚嚇")
底下是朗文字典解釋"suffer"一字：
to experience physical or mental pain 承受生理或心理痛苦
(用法) suffer from
I'm suffering from a bad back. 我正遭受背痛之苦
Mary's suffering from ill health at the moment. 瑪莉現在正身受健康不佳之苦
另外，有些字也很傳神，像"petrified"，朗文字典解釋的意思：
"extremely frightened, especially so frightened that you cannot move or think" 受到極度驚嚇，尤其過度害怕，以致無法動彈或思考
用法是："petrified with fright/fear" (因駭怕或驚嚇而動彈不得)
所以版主的所問也可以這樣表達
They were petrified with the shock.

「他們飽受驚嚇」或許可以換另一種角度表達，例如某事讓他們飽受驚嚇，非正式的口語可說：
XXX scared the crap out of them.
這種驚嚇程度可非比尋常@@"

可這樣就無法強調 frighten 的程度啊。

版主您好:
「他們飽受驚嚇」
They have been thoroughly frightened.
這裡的"驚嚇", 除了恐怖的成分之外, 多半還帶有"受到威脅, 感到危險"的意味. 因此選用[fright]相關的字眼. 至於要用那哪種詞類, 就必須配合您所寫的句型.
不過, 仔細考量中文所傳達的語意, 個人認為還有一個地方值得提出說明, 那就是"動詞的時態". 單純用過去式, 似乎並無法傳達出"飽受"兩個字所蘊含"經歷一段過程"的語意. 因此在下選用"完成式"來表達.
實際例子:
They have been thoroughly frightened by the threat that their children s heads will be cut off if the money Is not forthcoming, and rather than take any chances they are dealing directly with the offenders. (紐約時報)

如果要用上您選的[suffer]這個動詞, 可以寫成(要用主動語態):
They have suffered a total terror.
實際例子:
We would suffer a total terror of abandonment in a dark place from which there is no escape.

2007-10-21 14:02:18 補充：
They were suffered scare completely. 這樣說對嗎?
把[suffer]改用主動語態後, 表達的意思相近.

嗯, 大師這句很"夠味"! ^_^

They were frightened. 這樣就可以了，其他都是贅述。
