overwhelmed 是一个形容词，描述一种被强烈的情绪、巨大的数量或巨大的困难完全淹没、压垮或不堪重负的状态。其核心含义在于个体感到自己无法有效应对当前面临的情况或感受。具体可以细分为以下几个方面：
情感上的淹没： 这是最常见的含义。指被极其强烈的情感（通常是消极的，但也可能是积极的）所淹没，以至于难以思考或正常行动。
overwhelmed by grief)，面对公众演讲感到极度紧张 (overwhelmed by nerves)，或者被巨大的幸福感包围 (overwhelmed by joy)。数量或任务上的过载： 指被过多的事物（如工作、信息、责任、问题等）所淹没，感到无法处理或控制。
overwhelmed with work)，被海量的信息淹没 (overwhelmed by information)，或者同时承担太多责任而感到筋疲力尽 (overwhelmed by responsibilities)。被彻底击败或征服： 在更正式或文学化的语境中，可以指被彻底击败或征服（尤指在军事或竞争背景下），或者被某种强大的力量（如自然力量）所吞没。
the army was overwhelmed by the enemy)，小镇被洪水淹没 (the town was overwhelmed by the flood)。（积极的）受宠若惊/惊喜万分： 在特定语境下，尤其是当收到超乎预期的善意、慷慨、帮助或荣誉时，overwhelmed 可以表达一种积极的、受宠若惊的惊喜感。
overwhelmed by kindness)，获奖时感到惊喜万分 (overwhelmed by the honor)。总结来说，overwhelmed 的核心在于个体感受到的无力应对感，无论是源于汹涌的情感、过量的负担、彻底的失败，还是巨大的惊喜。 它强调的是一种超出了个人常规承受或处理能力的极端状态。
