Not touched in the heart. If a story, a plea, or someone's tears leave you unmoved, you feel no pity and no sadness — you watched, you listened, and nothing inside you changed.

It comes after the verb, usually with be, remain, seem, or leave: 'she was unmoved', 'he remained unmoved', 'the film left me unmoved'.
It comes它會接 after the verb在動詞後面, usually通常跟著 with be, remain, seem, or leavebe、remain、seem 或 leave: 'she was unmoved''她無動於衷', 'he remained unmoved''他依然無動於衷', 'the film left me unmoved''那部電影讓我無動於衷'。
Two flavours worth knowing. Sometimes it is a criticism — a hard-hearted judge unmoved by a mother's begging. Sometimes it is praise for calmness — a leader who stays unmoved while everyone panics. And in reviews it is a polite way to say a film or a book failed: 'I was unmoved' means it did not work on me, said gently.
Two flavours worth knowing有兩種語感值得知道。Sometimes有時候 it is它是 a criticism一種批評 — a hard-hearted judge一個鐵石心腸的法官 unmoved by a mother's begging對一位母親的哀求無動於衷。a leader一位領袖 while everyone panics在大家都恐慌時 who stays unmoved依然不為所動——Sometimes有時候 it is這是 praise for calmness對鎮定的稱讚。And in reviews在影評或書評裡 it is這是 a polite way to say一種委婉的說法,說 a film or a book failed一部電影或一本書失敗了: 'I was unmoved''I was unmoved' means意思是 it did not work on me這作品沒有打動我, said gently委婉地這麼說。
There is a second, plainer meaning too: not moved from its place, still sitting where it was ('the boxes stood unmoved for weeks'). And in argument writing, 'unmoved' can mean not persuaded — the person did not change their mind.
There is有 a second, plainer meaning另一個比較白話的意思 too也: not moved from its place沒有從原本的位置移動過, still sitting where it was還待在原地 ('the boxes stood unmoved for weeks''那些箱子好幾個星期都沒被移動過')。And in argument writing在論說文寫作裡, 'unmoved''unmoved' can mean可以指 not persuaded沒有被說服 — the person did not change their mind那個人沒有改變心意。
All three come from the same picture: nothing shifted, whether it was a box, a heart, or an opinion.
All three這三種意思 come from the same picture都來自同一個畫面: nothing shifted沒有東西移動過, whether it was a box, a heart, or an opinion不管是箱子、一顆心,還是一個看法。
組成un- (not) + moved (past participle of move). The heart-meaning of 'move' is the key: in English, a sad film 'moves' you — it pushes your feelings. So unmoved means the push did not happen.
