Mystique is a quality around a person, a job, a brand, or a place that makes it seem secret, exciting, and special — a bit out of ordinary reach. A great cook may have mystique; so may an old city, or a line of work that people on the outside do not really see.

Mystique is a quality around a person, a job, a brand, or a placemystique是圍繞在一個人、一份工作、一個品牌或一個地方身上的特質 that makes it seem secret, exciting, and special讓它看起來神秘、迷人又特別 — a bit out of ordinary reach有點超出一般人能觸及的範圍。A great cook may have mystique一個厲害的廚師可能有mystique；so may an old city一座古城也可能有，or a line of work that people on the outside do not really see或是一份外人真正看不透的工作。

Though actually, mystique is often a story as much as a fact. It can be carefully built — few interviews, a closed door — and it can fall away when you meet the person on a normal Tuesday.

Though actually不過其實，mystique is often a story as much as a factmystique常常是故事的成分不亞於事實。It can be carefully built它可以被刻意營造出來 — few interviews, a closed door很少受訪、一扇關著的門 — and it can fall away而且也可能瞬間消失 when you meet the person on a normal Tuesday當你在一個普通的星期二遇到本人的時候。

The word came from French and still feels a little stylish. It is not the same as mystic (a person on a religious path) and not the same as mystery (a puzzle to solve).

The word came from French這個詞來自法文，and still feels a little stylish聽起來還是有點時髦。It is not the same as mystic它跟mystic不一樣 (a person on a religious path)（走宗教修行路線的人） and not the same as mystery也跟mystery不一樣 (a puzzle to solve)（要解開的謎團）。

People usually say the mystique of someone or something, as a glow that belongs to it, not as a tool you can pick up.

People usually say the mystique of someone or something人們通常會說「the mystique of某人或某事」，as a glow that belongs to it把它當成那個人或那件事身上自帶的光環，not as a tool you can pick up而不是一種可以拿來用的工具。
