Question

"I've been shot." and "I've been shot at."  What's the difference between them?

Answer

"I've been shot" means you got hit with a bullet.
"I've been shot at" means they tried to hit you, but missed.

Answer

我想你一定是在考虑 present perfect怎么使用，因为你一定认为shot 是shoot 的past participle ，这里面一定有被动语气。恰恰相反，你只看到了问题的一个方面，而另外一个方面就是你提出问题的答案，我分析I've been shot at.的后面一定是省略了点东西，造成你的理解上得偏差，shot 可以作为adjective，be shot at 这是一种不正式场合使用的东西，be shot at==  attempt  to achieve sth
