very fortunate; lucky
Very lucky and happy because of something good in your life.
用法模式：
be blest with [something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes use "blest" in modern everyday writing instead of "blessed". In most current English, "blessed" is the normal form; "blest" sounds old-fashioned or poetic. Also, do not use "blest" as the past tense of "bless"; the correct form is "blessed" (e.g., "The priest blessed the child").

holy; made sacred
Holy or very special to God.
用法模式：
the blest [person/thing]
常见错误：
Learners may confuse this religious sense with the more general "fortunate" sense. When the word is used with clearly religious nouns like "saints", "Virgin", or "sacrament", it usually means "holy" rather than simply "lucky".
近义词
holy (The most common modern word for something religiously pure or sacred.)
|
sacred (Emphasizes being set apart for religious use or deep respect.)

exclamation of surprise/annoyance
A mild exclamation to show surprise or anger, often said as "I'll be blest".
用法模式：
"I'll be blest" (if [clause])

Learners may think this expression is common today. In modern English it sounds very old-fashioned; it is better to say things like "I'm surprised" or "I can't believe it" in everyday speech.
近义词
I'll be damned (Stronger and more offensive; "I'll be blest" is a softer, old-fashioned version.)
