bewitchment(名词)指通过魔法或超自然力量对人施加影响的状态或行为,尤指使人着迷、神魂颠倒或丧失理智的魔力。该词包含两层核心含义:
字面意义:巫术蛊惑
指使用巫术、咒语或魔法控制他人意志的行为,常见于民间传说与历史记载。例如,17世纪塞勒姆审巫案中,被指控者常被认为实施了"bewitchment"(巫术蛊惑)。
隐喻意义:强烈吸引力
描述人或事物具有令人无法抗拒的魅力,使人陷入痴迷状态。如莎士比亚在《仲夏夜之梦》中描写仙后因魔法爱上织工波顿,即是一种"bewitchment of the senses"(感官的蛊惑)。
词源与演变
源自中古英语 bewicchen(施魔法),由前缀 be-(使动)与 wicchen(施巫术)构成。16世纪后逐渐扩展至形容情感或精神层面的强烈吸引。
