- 1蒙蔽、使誤信
To delude someone is to make them believe something that is not true. It is not a quick lie in one sentence so much as leading a person into a false picture of things. You can delude another person, but English uses it a lot about the self: to delude yourself is to hold a comforting story you should know is shaky. The word is a little formal; in casual talk people often say fool, trick, or kid yourself. It carries a quiet judgement: the false belief is not an honest mistake, or not only that.
