- 1充滿火藥味的；劍拔弩張的；一碰就吵的（不是充電，也不是負責）
A charged situation or subject is one that fills people with strong feeling — anger, worry, excitement — so that a fight, or at least a sharp argument, feels close. News writers love it: a charged atmosphere, a politically charged speech, a charged trial. It is a little formal; in ordinary talk you might just say tense or explosive. The picture comes from electricity: a charged wire is holding energy, ready to spark. Though actually, this is not the everyday word for a phone battery, and it is not “in charge of the team”, and it is not “the police charged him with theft”. Those are other lives of charge. Here the word is about mood and danger in the air. People also stretch it to art and sports: a charged silence, a charged look, meaning the feeling is thick even when nobody is shouting yet.
charged 在這裡的意思是「情緒緊繃、一觸即發」，形容一個情況或話題讓人充滿強烈的情緒，好像一場爭吵或衝突就在眼前。新聞寫作特別愛用它，常見的組合是「a ___ charged ___」這種形式，例如「a politically charged speech」（政治味很濃的演講）、「a racially charged trial」（種族議題很敏感的審判）。語氣稍微正式，口語裡通常會說 tense 或 explosive。
這個字的畫面來自電：帶電的電線裡存著能量，隨時準備打出火花。所以它講的不是電池，而是空氣裡的火藥味。後來人們也把它用在藝術和運動上，例如「a charged silence」（氣氛緊繃的沉默），還沒有人大聲吵，但那股張力已經很濃。
組成The -ed form of charge, used as an adjective. Here charge is the “fill with energy” meaning, like a battery — but the energy is feeling, not electricity.
