- 1被保護得像包在繭裡
Wrapped or protected so completely that the outside barely gets in — like a moth in its silk case. You can be cocooned in a thick blanket, in a quiet house, or in a life where other people catch every knock for you. The feeling aimed at is safety and softness. Though actually, people also use it with a little worry: a child who is too cocooned may never learn to stand in bad weather. It is the -ed form of the verb cocoon, to surround someone or something that way. Not only for insects; the human picture is the one you will meet most.
組成cocoon (the silk covering a moth grows up in; from French cocon) + -ed.
