“坏了”作为补语时,主要有两种用法:一是作为结果补语,表示事物或人出现了损坏、故障或不好的状态;二是作为程度补语,用在某些形容词或心理动词后,表示程度极高,相当于“极”、“非常”。
As a complement, '坏了' has two main uses: first, as a resultative complement indicating that something or someone is broken, malfunctioning, or in a bad state; second, as a degree complement after certain adjectives or mental verbs, indicating an extreme degree, equivalent to 'extremely' or 'very much'.
