其中:
disenchanted 是形容词,由否定前缀 dis-(“不;失去”)+ enchanted(“着迷的;被吸引的”)构成,核心逻辑是“从‘着迷/有幻想’变为‘清醒/失望’”。
强调“期待的落空”:区别于一般的“失望(disappointed)”,disenchanted 更突出“原本对某人/事有正面期待(如信任、憧憬),但因现实打击而彻底失去幻想”。
宾语范围:可接具体事物(如job、school)、抽象概念(如system、politics)或人(如a leader、a friend)。
1、 对事物/制度失望:

3、 对抽象概念失望:

近义词:be disappointed with(对…失望,更通用,无“幻想破灭”的强调);be disillusioned with(与 disenchanted 几乎同义,更正式)。
反义词:be enchanted with(对…着迷;被…吸引);be hopeful about(对…抱有希望)。
