用法筆記
Used only predicatively — that is, after a linking verb such as 'be', 'feel', or 'seem'. Never placed directly before a noun (❌ 'a taken person'). 'Taken with' often refers to being charmed or delighted by something or someone; 'taken by' can carry a slightly stronger sense of being captured or captivated.
