shattering 是现在分词/形容词，意为“令人震惊的、使人极度疲劳的”，用于描述事件或声音；表达人自己累垮、震惊时应用过去分词形容词 shattered。中文“我累垮了”不能用 be + shattering 来表示人本身的状态。
Not this
He swept up the shattering glass after the accident.
Use this
He swept up the shattered glass after the accident.
表示“已经破碎的”状态要用过去分词 shattered；shattering 是现在分词，指“正在碎裂的”或“发出爆裂巨响的”。中文“破碎的玻璃”说的是破碎的结果，不是正在碎裂的过程，所以这里只能用 shattered。
