Domanda in primo piano
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
"Wounded" can refer to someone or something that has a literal wound, an injury, or it can refer to someone with hurt feelings.
A "wounded expression" is the face someone would make when their feelings are hurt.
Someone with "wounded pride" has been humiliated. This is a phrase that uses the word "wounded" in a more metaphorical way. Someone's "pride" is (in this case) their ego, their self-image. So humiliation causes a metaphorical injury to the ego, and it is sometimes said that a person who has been humiliated is nursing their "wounded pride."
