- 1福大命大、似乎總有保佑（常說 a charmed life：大難不死、一路幸運）
In this meaning, someone who is charmed seems lucky all the time. They walk into danger again and again, but they come out . English almost always says it with life: a charmed life, or 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. 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.
From the word’s history
charm + -ed; charm is from Old French charme 'magic spell', from Latin carmen 'song, incantation'.
charm 源自拉丁文 carmen「歌、咒語」，指被施了魔法。
組成charm + -ed: here it is the adjective, not just “did charm.”
