用法筆記
Stronger than 'beautiful' or 'pretty' — bewitching suggests a powerful, almost magical attraction that holds the viewer's full attention. Often used with nouns relating to sound, appearance, or atmosphere (smile, voice, dance, music, garden, scene). Less common in everyday casual speech; more frequent in literary or descriptive writing.
