Two distinct senses split by register: (1) medical/legal, "the state of an injury," standard in news reports and forensic contexts (
伤情鉴定 "forensic assessment of injuries"); (2) classical, "sentimental, heartbroken," as in poetry (e.g.
李清照's "sorrowful" verses). The literary sense is now mostly fossilized; modern speakers default to the medical reading.
