Mojo is an informal American word for a special personal power that makes you good at something — confidence, energy, charm, or skill, all wrapped into one. People usually notice mojo by its absence: 'I've lost my mojo' means you used to feel confident and sharp, and now something feels missing. You can also 'get your mojo back' after a bad patch. It's a fun, casual word — you'd use it with friends, not in a report at work.
魅力、幹勁、自信氣場
