In this meaning在這個意思裡, someone who is charmed一個charmed的人 seems lucky all the time看起來好像一直很幸運。They他們 walk into danger again and again一次又一次陷入危險, but但 they come out unhurt卻總是毫髮無傷地脫身。English英文 almost always says it with life幾乎都會搭配life這個字說: a charmed lifea charmed life(福大命大的人生), or或 he leads a charmed life或說he leads a charmed life。
It does not mean the person is magic, and it does not mean they are charming — nice to look at or easy to like — even though the two words sit next to each other. It can sound a little jealous, or a little , as if luck itself is protecting them.
It它 does not mean the person is magic不是說這個人有魔法, and而 it it does not mean they are charming也不是說他們charming — nice to look at or easy to like好看或討人喜歡的意思 — even though即使 the two words sit next to each other這兩個詞長得很像。It它 can sound a little jealous, or a little amazed聽起來可能有點嫉妒,或有點驚訝, as if彷彿 luck itself is protecting them運氣本身在保護著他們。
Though actually, you will also hear old-fashioned “I’m charmed” for “pleased to meet you,” and a magician’s “charmed” for a spell; those are other uses.
Though actually不過其實,you你 will also hear old-fashioned "I'm charmed"也會聽到老派的「I'm charmed」 for "pleased to meet you,"用來表示「很高興認識你」, and和 a magician's "charmed"魔術師說的「charmed」 for a spell表示施了魔咒;those那些 are other uses是別的用法。
