Use this

earn（挣）加ed表“已挣得”：凭努力和本事挣到手的，不是捡来的。
语域：neutral 常见场景：工作与收入、付出努力后的休息或奖励 作为形容词，earned 通常表示“凭努力或功劳获得的”，多用于书面或较正式的表达，如 hard-earned（辛苦挣得的）、well-earned（应得的）；日常口语中也可使用。选择中性语域较为安全。
这些词都与 earned 押韵，词尾均为 /ɜːnd/：turned、learned、burned、yearned、returned、concerned。注意 learned 作形容词表示“博学的”时读 /ˈlɜːnɪd/，不押韵；heard /hɜːd/、beard /bɪəd/、warned /wɔːnd/ 拼写相似但读音不同，也不押韵。
