confused (adj.) 困惑的

confused 为形容词,意思是「困惑的;迷惑的」,它来自于动词 confuse「使困惑」,另外一个一样来自 confuse 的形容词为 confusing「令人困惑的」。这个词拆解开来为字首 con-「一起」加上 -fuse「融合;混合」,组合在一起直翻就是「混合在一起」,组合在一起也就乱呼呼的,令人困惑啰!

B: Slow down! You’re confusing me!

A:我跟你说哦那个鸡啊应该放进那箱子里的袋子然后放冰箱然后 23 分钟后拿出来这样你才可以…

B:慢点!你让我好困惑呀!

separate (v.) 分离

separate 为动词,意思是「分离;分开」,常见的搭配为 seperate A from B (把 A 与 B 分开)。

Let’s separate and meet here in 15 minutes.

我们先分开然后 15 分钟后在这会合。

His parents have separated and live in different places.

他的父母离异,分居在不同的地方。

It’s so nice of you! 你人真好!

句型「It’s + 形容词 + of + 人」用来形容一个人的性格或人格特质,比如形容词可以填入 kind (亲切的)、rude (粗鲁的),要记住这里形容词后接的介词是 of。

It’s rude of you to talk to your teacher like that!

你和老师那样说话非常没礼貌!
