Olá pessoal! Novamente, estou com dúvidas! :)

Como é que se diz "ficar no prejuízo", em inglês, no sentido de ser prejudicado em uma determinada situação?

Desde já muito obrigada! :-D

suffer damages or loss
Explanation:
Without any further context or clarification, this is what I would suggest, but it refers to loss of profit/money and/or property, which might not fit your context. Could you provide us with any further information? Thanks :)

neutral  Aoife Kennedy: sacrificed used this way would suggest slaughtered as a sacrifice for the gods, or something similar, although "harmed" might be ok, depending on the context

  -> we have no idea of what the context is...prejudicado em uma determinada situação, is all we have, it can bodily harm or not.
