&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The following definition should give you a clear picture of &amp;#39;hardened&amp;#39;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;be/become hardened to &lt;i&gt;sth&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; to develop a way of dealing with a sad situation so that it no longer upsets you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;You see all sorts of terrible things when you&amp;#39;re a nurse so you become hardened to it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>hardened</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Hardened/gcklr/post.htm</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 May 2008 13:39:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:514029</guid><dc:creator>New2grammar</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/Hardened/gcklr/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-514029.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Children who view a lot of &lt;br /&gt;television become hardened to violence&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is hardened equal to numb in this context?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks in advance!&lt;/p&gt;
