Prey can also mean the human subject of an attack, or ridicule, by another person. Remember those bullies in school? The younger kids whom they shoved into lockers were their prey. Prey can also be used as a verb, meaning to hunt or go after. I bet most people would agree it’s better to prey on something else than to be the preyed upon!
猎物是一种狩猎食物的动物。如果您在狩猎季节看起来很美味，请注意您的背！您是所有携带步枪的橙色夹克的家伙的猎物。

词源：
prey(n.)mid-13c., preie, “animal hunted for food, that which is seized by any carnivorous animal to be devoured” (also, figuratively, of souls captured by Satan, etc.), also “goods taken in war,” from Old French preie “booty, animal taken in the chase” (mid-12c., Modern French proie), from Latin praeda “booty, plunder; game hunted.”
This is from earlier praeheda, literally “something seized before,” from PIE *prai-heda-; for the first element see prae-; the second element is related to the second element in prehendere “to grasp, seize” (from PIE root *ghend- “to seize, to take”).
The meaning “act of preying or seizing upon anything” is from early 14c.; bird of prey is from late 14c. (fowl of prey is mid-14c.).also from mid-13c.
