※ 引述《MrMushroom (無限期支持蕈類)》之銘言：
: 各位板上的大大好
: 以前在學校一直只有學
: be confused with
: 剛剛查了一下發現也有
: be confused about
: be confused at
: 請問這些意思一樣嗎？還是有不同的用法呢？




"confused" 後面常搭配的介系詞有表達「混淆」的 "with" [1] [2] [3]，「全面考量」

意涵的 about [4] [5]；「目標」含意的at [8] [9] [10] ;「受制，無能為力」意味較

強的by [13] [14]。要特別強調，基本上"at" 和 "about" 差異不大。而如要「特意」進

一步要區分 "about" "at" "by"， 可從常用搭配下手去多加比對:"about" 常接

「議題」 [5] [6]、「概念」[7] ；"at" 常接「疑問詞」 [8] [9] [10]  (註:"about"也可接

 [11])，"at"也與「動名詞」連用 [12]；"by" 常接 「個人特質」[14]
