覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず trauma「心の傷・トラウマ」を軸に覚える。そこから traumatize が「人にトラウマを与える」で、traumatizing はその ing 形なので、「今まさに人の心を深く傷つけるようなもの」という感触でつかむと残りやすい。a traumatizing experience / event / incident の形が多く、sad や shocking よりも傷が深く、後まで尾を引く出来事に使う。traumatic は「トラウマ的な」、traumatized は「傷を受けた側」なので区別する。
Anchor it to `trauma`, then notice `traumatize` means 'cause trauma' and `traumatizing` is the `-ing` form. This helps you remember the direction: it affects someone deeply, not just briefly. Keep the pattern clear: `traumatic` describes the thing, `traumatized` describes the person hurt by it.
