Rapt is the strongest of these three words, and is often used to describe sb's expression when they appear to look blank and not see what is in front of them. You can only be absorbed in sth that really interests you, especially in reading or watching sth; you can be engrossed in sth that you are doing that may not be particularly interesting but still takes all your attention. * rapt在这三个词中语义最强烈，常形容expression，指人一脸茫然、对眼前之物视而不见。absorbed表示被真正感兴趣的东西吸引住，尤指全神贯注地阅读或观看。engrossed表示做某事时聚精会神，所做的事不一定特别有趣，但还是吸引了某人全部的注意力◆Dawn was absorbed in stuffing clothes into a bag. |
