词性：n. v.  
音标： [stʌn]  
释义：使大吃一惊，目瞪口呆，震耳欲聋，晕倒，失去知觉

To _stun_ is to knock unconscious or to shock. So getting hit in the head with a softball will _stun_ you, but hearing that your favorite band is playing at the prom will also _stun_ you.

If your cat catches a mouse, it may only stun the little animal and give you a chance to set it free. Being knocked hard enough in the head is generally what it takes to physically stun a person. It’s more common for something that’s astonishing to stun you, whether it’s hearing terrible news or seeing something amazingly beautiful, like the northern lights or the Grand Canyon. _Stun_, in fact, shares a root with _astonish_.
