Overwhelmed(英語單詞)

Overwhelmed是英語中兼具形容詞與動詞功能的辭彙，作形容詞時表示被壓倒或不知所措的狀態，作動詞時意為使難以承受或事物被淹沒，特指overwhelm的過去式及過去分詞形態。該詞可構成Grass was overwhelmed（草被壓倒了）等套用實例。

該詞在2021年VOA新聞辭彙專欄中，通過印度新冠疫情案例被用於描述醫療系統和葬禮工作人員的超負荷狀態，指代“同時面臨太多問題難以應對”的情形。在資訊時代心理健康挑戰的語境下，“末日滾動”現象指長期接觸負面信息引發的焦慮、抑鬱等心理問題。其套用場景已從物理層面的淹沒擴展至描述心理壓力與系統過載狀態。
