Taken
“Taken” 表示动作已完成：被取走、被接受、被理解或时间已被占用。常见结构有 “has taken""was taken”。
- “All seats were taken before the show started.” (演出开始前所有座位都被占满了。)
- “She has taken the medicine twice today.” (她今天已经服过两次药了。)
- “The photo was taken at sunrise on the pier.” (这张照片是在码头日出时拍的。)
“Take” 源自古英语 “tacan”；过去分词 “taken” 为不规则变化，保留古英语 “-en” 分词痕迹。
“-en” 在此为不规则过去分词词尾，不是现代能产后缀。
安全提示里 “if taken incorrectly” 常见于药品说明；新闻里 “measures were taken” 表示已采取行动。
- 固定搭配: “taken aback” (大吃一惊), “taken for granted” (认为理所当然)
把 “take” 想成拿走，“taken” 就是东西已经不在原处了。
“By noon, every sandwich had been taken from the office fridge except one lonely pickle jar.” (到中午，办公室冰箱里的三明治全被拿光了，只剩一罐孤零零的腌黄瓜。)
