喜樂美語
  1. 1

    If you are rapt, something has taken all of your attention. You are so interested, or so caught up, that you do not notice the room, the time, or people speaking to you. We often say a rapt audience or listen with rapt attention. It is a slightly word — more at home in a story or a review than in a text to a friend, where you might just say you were glued to it. The old picture behind it is of the mind being seized. Though actually, in Australia people also say “I’m rapt” to mean they are really pleased; that is a looser, happier use of the same adjective.

    全神貫注的、入迷的（常說 rapt attention、a rapt audience）
