Question

casualty n.事故；伤亡者；伤亡人数；<英>急诊室 (1) 那小屋被森林大火烧毁。(2) 她忧虑地把伤亡人员名单从头到尾看了一遍。(3) 这一交通事故地伤亡人数是一个令人伤心的记录. The term "casualties of war" has been around for a while and refers to the ugly downside of military victory. Anyone who loses life or limb, either in the fighting or as a civilian, is called a casualty. If you're feeling poetic, though, you can extend the meaning to include, say, the children of a divorce: while they don't die and aren't physically injured, their emotional suffering qualifies them to be called casualties of their parents' fighting. Driving drunk, too, results in casualties.
