深入解读
Beguile 一词于13世纪初由前缀 be- （使……、使成为）+ guile （狡诈、奸诈、欺诈）构造而来，常用搭配 beguile sb into doing sth 表示“哄骗、诱骗”某人做某事，主要指通过使用微妙的、通常是令人愉快或诱人的手段来误导、哄骗或诱骗，比如：
- 推销员哄骗一个傻乎乎的年轻人买下了一辆他并不需要的汽车。
The salesman beguiled a naive young man into buying a car he didn’t need.
从这个概念出发，还可以用 beguile 引申指“迷住、吸引、陶醉”，主要指通过或者好似通过诡计来引起兴趣，比如：
- 也许她对他下了咒。当时他完全被她的美貌迷住了。
Perhaps she cast a spell on him. At that time he was completely beguiled by her beauty.
到了16世纪80年代后， beguile 开始在书面语中用来表示“使时间等过得愉快”或者说“轻松地消磨”，主要指用一些令人愉快的、不一定是浪费时间的活动来消磨一段闲暇或者单调乏味（tedious）的时光，好比通过做一些愉快的事情来诱骗自己将注意力从痛苦事物上转移开，比如：
- 以轻松愉快的闲谈来度过令人疲乏的长途旅行
beguile a long and weary journey with pleasant talk
