You can be a bit/slightly/very panicky but panic-stricken cannot be qualified in this way. Panic-stricken can also suggest sth more physical; panicky refers more to your inner feelings. * panic-stricken语气更强,表示的惊慌感更为严重。可以说a bit/slightly/very panicky(有点/略微/非常惊慌),但panic-stricken则不能在前面加这些修饰词。panic-stricken还较为强调身体反应,panicky则多指内心感受◆I was feeling quite panicky.我感到相当焦虑。◆I was so panic-stricken that I could hardly speak.我慌得说不出话来。■beˈside yourself
