在浏览英文网站或看美剧学口语时你可能常遇到"pwned"，但左看右看它也不像个词，倒像是误拼的错字……究竟pwned是啥意思？今天我们就来聊一聊：

　　"Pwned" means "to be utterly defeated by an opponent" or "to be defeated by a superior power"。

　　“Pwned”(一败涂地)是“被对手彻底打败”或“被一股超强力量击败”的意思。

　　This informal term is used more often in video gaming, and supposedly resulted from a common mistyping of own with this sense, as a result of the proximity of p and o on a computer keyboard. Along with pwned comes pwnage， being "the action or fact of utterly defeating an opponent or rival"

　　这个词属于非正式用语，常用于电子游戏中，据说这个词来源于常见的“own”误输，因为电脑键盘上p和o离得很近。和“pwned”一起的还有“pwnage”，意思是“把对手打得永无翻身之日的行为或事实”。

　　It can be pronounced as "owned" or as "poned", with both pronunciations being correct. In some cases, you will even hear it pronounced as "pawned"。

　　这个词可以读成"owned" 或"poned"，两种读法都对，有时你甚至会听到有人将其念做"pawned"。

　　《生活大爆炸》第三季第五集里，小印度拉杰和谢耳朵、霍华德就曾在游戏中用过这个词：

　　谢：My enchanted troll bludgeons your screaming harpy with a cursed mace. game。

　　魔法巨兽用诅咒权杖重击你的惊叫鹰女。游戏结束。

　　霍：Sorry, boys. Say hi to your mother when she picks you up。

　　抱歉，小子们。替我向来接你们的妈咪问声好。

　　拉：Or I could just tell her later tonight! We pwned them, dude! Up top!

　　还是干脆我来告诉她让她晚点来！我们揍得他们屁滚尿流，狂顶你！伙计！

　　除了玩游戏会用这个词，人们也会在日常生活对话中使用这个词，例如：

　　Oh, man. I got totally pwned by the aerobics instructor in class today. That was so difficult!

　　天哪，在今天的课上，我彻底被健美操教练打败了，那简直太难了！(中国日报网英语点津 丁一)
