读音与含义 “subdued”读音:英 [səbˈdjuːd];美 [səbˈduːd] 。

它是形容词,意思有“柔和的;缓和的;减弱的;被制服的;顺从的” 。

动词原形是“subdue”,意为“征服;克制;抑制;使柔和;使减弱”。

关于缩写拆分 “subdued”一般不作为缩写词使用,不过从构词法角度拆分: “sub -” 是前缀,有“在……下面;低于;次要的;接近”等含义。

在这里“sub -” 表示一种程度上的“向下、减弱”的趋势,比如“subway(地铁,在地下的路)”“submarine(潜艇,在水下的船)” 。

“due” 常见意思为“预期的;到期的;应得的” ,但在“subdue” 中,“due” 的含义可能与古英语中表示“引导、带领”的词根有关,“subdue” 整体就有“向下引导、压制”的意味,进而演变成现代英语中的各种含义。

“-ed” 是形容词后缀,用于构成过去分词形式的形容词,表示“处于……状态” 。
