v.|mesmerized;迷住;迷惑(captivate的过去式)
"captivated"是动词captivate的过去分词形式,表示"被强烈吸引或迷住的状态"。该词源自拉丁语"captivare"(意为捕获),16世纪进入英语后词义逐渐从物理束缚演变为情感层面的精神吸引。
在权威词典中,牛津英语词典将其定义为"通过特殊魅力完全吸引注意力"(Oxford English Dictionary),强调这种吸引力具有主动施加和被动接受的双向性。剑桥词典的例句"观众被舞者的优雅完全captivated"(Cambridge Dictionary)展示了该词在艺术鉴赏中的典型应用场景。
语言学家Merriam-Webster指出其与近义词的区别:相较于"fascinated"的智力吸引,"captivated"更侧重情感层面的不可抗拒性;相比"enchanted"的短暂魔力,它暗示更持久的心理影响。在文学应用方面,《纽约时报》书评曾用"captivated by the novel's intricate plot"描述读者对复杂叙事的沉迷状态。
单词captivated 的详细解释如下:
表示“被强烈吸引、迷住”,强调因某事物或人具有非凡的魅力、美感或独特性而完全占据注意力,甚至产生情感上的沉浸感。
例如:
She was captivated by the musician's performance.(她被音乐家的表演深深吸引。)
