    「mislead」是用「假的、不完整的、或只講一半的資訊」讓人相信錯的事。重點常常是資訊有缺口或有偏向，對方因此走錯方向——不一定要講出完整的謊。常見說法：mislead somebody about / over something、mislead somebody into thinking / believing...、deliberately mislead。一種想法是：mis- 可以想成「錯／壞」，lead 是「帶路」，合起來就像「用話或事實把人帶錯路」。跟 deceive 近但角度不同：deceive 更常帶「辜負信任」；trick 常帶「為了得到東西／讓人去做某事」；lie 是「故意把假的說成真的」；mislead 特別標出「資訊假或不完整」。

core核心畫面

One way to hold it: leading someone down the wrong path. You are still the guide — you hand over information and they follow it — but what you give is false or has pieces missing, so they end up believing something that is not so. Sometimes the wrong turn is deliberate, sometimes it is not; the word covers both.

可以想成把人帶上了錯的那條路：你還是帶路的人——給出資訊，對方照著走——但你給的東西是假的、或缺了幾塊，於是他最後相信了不是那樣的事。走錯這一步有時是故意的，有時不是，這個字兩種都涵蓋。
