10個犯糊塗的英語表達，看完會不會更暈！

人生總是充滿了疑問啊！聽不懂上課內容，看不懂電影情節，這都是犯糊塗的表現。今天就來講講除了「confused」，還可以怎麼說「迷惑」。

首先來看看confused意思。根據《柯林斯英語詞典》的解釋，confused作為一個形容詞，其解釋如下：

If you are confused, you do not know exactly what is happening or what to do.

困惑的； 糊塗的

例句：

A survey showed people were confused about what they should eat to stay healthy.

一項調查表明，人們對該吃什麼才能保持健康這個問題感到困惑。

Things were happening too quickly and Brian was confused.

事情發生得太快，把布賴恩給弄糊塗了。

與confused的「困惑的；糊塗的」意思相近的一些詞：

1、perpIexed

If you are perplexed, you feel confused and slightly worried by something because you do not understand it.

困惑的；不知所措的；糾纏不清的

perplex是動詞，本意是「使困惑」，指各種複雜的事物令人傷腦筋，感到費解或難以解決。

例句：

2. puzzled

Someone who is puzzled is confused because they do not understand something.

困惑的；迷惑的

puzzle的本意是「使困惑」「使難解」，引申義有「為難」「傷腦筋」「苦思」，作名詞也有「智力競賽」的意思，畢竟猜謎是一件傷腦筋的事情啊。

例句：

I"m still puzzled as to why she said that.

她為什麼那麼說我至今仍迷惑不解。

6. befuddled

If something befuddles you, it confuses your mind or thoughts.

迷惑的；糊塗的

fuddle有酗酒的意思，所以befuddled多表示因為喝酒而導致大腦昏昏沉沉。

例句：

我太累了，可憐的大腦昏昏沉沉的，再也記不住任何東西了。

7、 disoriented

disorient用為一個動詞，有「使迷失方向；使覺得迷惘」的意思：

If something disorients you, you lose your sense of direction, or you generally feel lost and uncertain, for example because you are in an unfamiliar environment.
