1. 1著迷的、看得(聽得)入神

    Enthralled is the past form, and also the form we use like an adjective. If you are enthralled, something has caught you so fully that you keep watching or listening; you are not bored, and you are not half somewhere else. We usually say “enthralled by” a story, a film, a speaker. It is warmer and quieter than “obsessed,” and more complete than “interested.” You will meet it more often than the plain verb , because English likes “I was enthralled” better than “it enthralled me,” though both are correct. The old “held as a slave” meaning is not what people mean in a cinema or a classroom.

組成Past and participle of enthral (British) / enthrall (American): the base verb plus -ed, with the l doubled.
