📖 基本释义

[adjective] affected by strong feelings of love, admiration, or fascination
[形容词] 被强烈的爱、钦佩或迷恋所影响的


💡 深入解读

Enamoured  (美式英语中常拼作 enamored)一词是动词 enamour 的过去分词。而 enamour 则是由前缀 en- (置于……之中;进入某种状态,使成为)+ amour (恋情)构成,故用来表示“使倾心、使喜爱、使迷恋”。不过 enamour 一般很少单独使用,而是常用被动搭配 enamoured of/with sb 表示“迷恋或倾心于某人”,多作书面用语使用,意味着完全沉浸在强烈的爱恋之中,

比如:

be much enamoured of a girl十分倾心于一个姑娘

He was less than enamoured of the sideshow.或者常用被动搭配 enamoured of/with sth 表示“喜爱、酷爱或迷恋某个事物”,多作正式用语使用,也就是像迷恋某人那般非常喜欢或欣赏某个事物,比如:他不是很喜欢这种助兴表演。


📚 名著用例

— 出自《莎士比亚创作的戏剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》( Romeo and Juliet )。》
