Seized

“Seized” 是 “seize” 的过去式和过去分词。常见含义:用力抓住;夺取控制权;执法部门查封财产;突然受某种强烈情绪支配(seized with fear/panic)。

  2. “She seized the opportunity to study abroad.” (她抓住了出国学习的机会。)
  3. “He was seized with panic when he lost his passport.” (护照丢了之后,他突然陷入恐慌。)

“Seize” 可能源于古法语 “seisir”(占有),与法律上的“扣押、占有”概念密切相关。

词根 “seize” 加 “-ed” 构成过去式/过去分词,无额外前缀。

法律新闻中 “assets seized” 指资产被查封;日常用语 “seize the day”(抓住当下)来自拉丁语 carpe diem 的英译表达。
