Claimed
“Claimed” 来自 claim，可指公开断言（claimed innocence），也可指索取权利（claimed the prize）。在新闻标题中 he claimed that… 常提示“尚未证实”；claimed lives 则指事故“夺走生命”，属固定悲剧表述。

- “The storm claimed several homes along the coast.” (风暴摧毁了沿岸几栋房屋。)
Claim 源自古法语 clamer，来自拉丁语 clamare（呼喊、主张），原义与“大声要求”相关；claimed 表示主张已提出或结果已发生。
claim + -ed：规则过去分词。名词 claim、claimant（索赔人/主张者）。
媒体报道中 claimed 暗示信息待核实；保险与法律语境 claimed damages 指正式索赔。灾难新闻里 claimed lives 为庄重习语。
- 固定搭配: “claimed that” (声称), “claimed responsibility” (宣称负责), “claimed lives” (夺走生命)
- 动词: claim；名词: claim
claim（喊出来/要回来）+ ed → 已经喊出来要定 ownership 或已经造成后果，就是 claimed。
