覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
rushed は rush の過去形・過去分詞で、単純に -ed を付けます。語末 /ʃ/ は無声音なので -ed は /t/ と発音し、/rʌʃt/。rushed to the station は「駅へ急いだ」、rushed through breakfast は「朝食を大急ぎで済ませた」。時間に追われて勢いよく動いた場面で覚えましょう。
Rushed is rush plus -ed, used for a hurried action in the past or as a participle. Because rush ends with the voiceless /ʃ/ sound, the -ed ending is pronounced /t/, so rushed is one syllable: /rʌʃt/. Imagine seeing the clock and suddenly moving fast. Common patterns show different kinds of hurry: rushed to the station means went there quickly, while rushed through breakfast means completed it too quickly. The word often suggests time pressure and may imply less care than usual, especially in a rushed decision or rushed job.
例文
I rushed to the station.
私は駅へ急ぎました。
They rushed through breakfast.
彼らは朝食を急いで済ませました。
She rushed to finish the report before noon.

Rushed is the past-tense and past-participle form of rush. The verb developed from Middle English russhen, which conveyed forceful, rapid movement or a sudden advance.
