在瀏覽英文網站或看美劇學口語時你可能常遇到"pwned"，但左看右看它也不像個詞，倒像是誤拼的錯字……究竟pwned是啥意思？今天我們就來聊一聊：

"Pwned" means "to be utterly defeated by an opponent" or "to be defeated by a superior power".
“Pwned”(一敗涂地)是“被對手徹底打敗”或“被一股超強力量擊敗”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"
這個詞屬于非正式用語，常用于電子游戲中，據說這個詞來源于常見的“own”誤輸，因為電腦鍵盤上p和o離得很近。和“pwned”一起的還有“pwnage”，意思是“把對手打得永無翻身之日的行為或事實”。

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".
這個詞可以讀成"owned" 或"poned"，兩種讀法都對，有時你甚至會聽到有人將其念做"pawned"。

《生活大爆炸》第三季第五集里，小印度拉杰和謝耳朵、霍華德就曾在游戲中用過這個詞：

謝：My enchanted troll bludgeons your screaming harpy with a cursed mace. game.
魔法巨獸用詛咒權杖重擊你的驚叫鷹女。游戲結束。

霍：Sorry, boys. Say hi to your mother when she picks you up.
抱歉，小子們。替我向來接你們的媽咪問聲好。

拉：Or I could just tell her later tonight! We pwned them, dude! Up top!
還是干脆我來告訴她讓她晚點來！我們揍得他們屁滾尿流，狂頂你！伙計！

除了玩游戲會用這個詞，人們也會在日常生活對話中使用這個詞，例如：

Oh, man. I got totally pwned by the aerobics instructor in class today. That was so difficult!
天哪，在今天的課上，我徹底被健美操教練打敗了，那簡直太難了！
