参考词汇puzzle;perplex;confuse;bewilder;都含“使困惑不解”的意思。1.■puzzle 指“情况错宗复杂, 因而使人感到困惑不解”, 如:What he did puzzled me greatly.他的作为使我深感迷惑不解。2.■perplex 较正式, 除含有puzzle 的意思外, 还侧重“心情的困惑和行动的不决, 不知如何办”, 如:His face was perplexed;3.■he went away.他的脸色看起来茫然, 然后就走了。confuse 指“把事物混淆或弄乱“或“由于混淆、混乱而糊涂”, 语气较弱, 常指暂时现象, 如:They asked me so many questions that they confused me.他们问了我那么多的问题都把我搞迷糊了。4.■bewilder 指“由于迷惑不解或惊愕而慌乱、糊涂和不知所措”, 语气比前两个词都强, 如:The old woman from the country was bewildered by the crowds and traffic in the big city.从农村来的那个老太太被大城市的人流和交通搞得茫然不知所措。
