To bewilder someone is to confuse them so thoroughly that they cannot think straight — not a small puzzlement but a lost, spinning feeling. It is stronger than 'confuse' and points at the person's whole state of mind rather than one misunderstanding: if a form confuses you, you got one question wrong; if a form bewilders you, you have no idea where to start.

To bewilder someone使人困惑 is to confuse them so thoroughly就是把人搞得徹底糊塗、that they cannot think straight想不清楚——not a small puzzlement不是小小的疑惑、but a lost, spinning feeling而是一種迷失、暈頭轉向的感覺。It is stronger than 'confuse'它比 confuse 更強、and points at the person's whole state of mind而且指的是整個人的心理狀態、rather than one misunderstanding而不是一個誤會：if a form confuses you如果一張表格讓你 confuse、you got one question wrong你是有一題搞錯了；if a form bewilders you如果一張表格讓你 bewilder、you have no idea where to start你是完全不知道從哪裡下手。

The word is nearly always used with a thing as the subject and a person as the object — the noise bewildered him, the rules bewilder new students, her reply bewildered me — because it describes an effect something has on you, not something you do on purpose.

The word這個字 is nearly always used幾乎總是用 with a thing as the subject以事物當主詞、and a person as the object人當受詞——the noise bewildered him噪音讓他不知所措、the rules bewilder new students規則讓新生一頭霧水、her reply bewildered me她的回覆讓我摸不著頭緒——because it describes an effect something has on you因為它描述的是某件事對你造成的影響、not something you do on purpose不是你故意做的事。

You will mostly meet it in its two adjective forms: bewildered (the person: 'a bewildered look') and bewildering (the thing: 'a bewildering number of choices'), plus the noun bewilderment.

You will mostly meet it你最常會遇到 in its two adjective forms它的兩個形容詞形式：bewildered (the person)（用在person人身上：'a bewildered look'困惑的表情）、and bewildering (the thing)（用在thing事物身上：'a bewildering number of choices'多到讓人眼花撩亂的選擇）、plus the noun bewilderment再加上名詞 bewilderment（困惑）。

There is a feeling of being lost inside it that no synonym quite has, and that feeling is in the word's history: the old verb 'wilder' meant to lead someone astray into wild country, so to bewilder is to leave someone wandering in a wilderness with no path. That is why it fits big, overwhelming confusion — a strange city, a foreign hospital, a language you cannot follow — better than it fits a single tricky question.

There is a feeling of being lost inside it它裡面有一種迷失的感覺、that no synonym quite has是其他同義字都沒有的、and that feeling is in the word's history而這感覺就藏在這個字的來歷裡：the old verb 'wilder'古老的動詞 wilder meant to lead someone astray into wild country原本是指把人引入荒野、迷失方向、so to bewilder所以 bewilder is to leave someone wandering in a wilderness with no path就是讓人在沒有路的荒野裡打轉。That is why it fits所以它更適合形容 big, overwhelming confusion巨大、令人招架不住的困惑——a strange city陌生的城市、a foreign hospital語言不通的國外醫院、a language you cannot follow你聽不懂的語言——better than it fits a single tricky question而不是一個刁鑽的問題。

In register it is neutral to slightly formal: common in journalism and novels, less common in casual speech, where people just say 'totally confused' or 'lost'.

In register語域上 it is neutral to slightly formal它是中性偏正式：common in journalism and novels常見於新聞和小說、less common in casual speech在隨口的對話裡比較少見、where people just say 'totally confused' or 'lost'那種場合人們就直接說「完全搞不清楚」或「迷路了」。
