Annotation: In this context, "touched" would generally be understood to mean either 1. "mentally handicapped or deranged" (colloquial), or 2. "deeply emotionally affected in a positive way." I don't believe this sentence would ever be used in the literal sense of "something or someone is touching Tom."

Additional context:

1. "You'll have to be patient with Tom. He's touched."

2. "Tom's touched that Mary went to so much trouble organizing his birthday party."

I'm not sure if the Turkish sentence carries these meanings across.
