Definition
受伤 (shòu shāng) is a verb-object compound meaning 'to be injured' — it describes the state of having sustained an injury. Unlike 伤害 (shāng hài, 'to harm someone') or 伤 (shāng, 'to injure'), which are transitive verbs that take an object, 受伤 is intransitive and can be split (e.g., 受了一次伤 'sustained an injury once').
