v.动词
embarrass, abash, discomfit, disconcert, rattle这组词都有“使窘迫”的意思。它们的区别是:abash指使人感到羞愧、自卑或自我反省; discomfit指打乱对方计划,挫伤对方自尊心,以使别人狼狈或难堪; disconcert指使人在短时间内仓皇失措,失去信心; embarrass指产生妨碍某人的自由、思考、说话或行动的影响或作用; rattle在口语中更强调狼狈与慌张,暗示情绪激动,因而思维混乱,举止失常。 puzzle，bewilder，confuse，embarrass，perplex，baffle，confound，distract这些动词均有“使困惑、迷惑、糊涂、伤脑筋”之意。 puzzle侧重使人难于理解、困惑、伤脑筋。 bewilder语气强烈，指因迷不解或惊愕而慌乱，不知所措，无法清醒地思考。 confuse语气较弱，指由于混淆、混乱而糊涂。 embarrass常指因处境或困难问题而感到窘迫、局促不安或焦急而不知所措。 perplex除困惑外，还含焦虑或缺乏把握之意，因而难于作出决定，无从下手处理。 baffle语气最强，多指遇见奇怪情景或复杂困难情况时所产生的惶恐困惑心理。 confound常指人惊慌失措和狼狈不堪。 distract主要用于注意力分散、思想矛盾或过分激动时产生的昏乱。 前缀em表“in，在…里”；词根bar和单词bar同源，即为“条，棒，横木”，-ass为后缀。想象你前后方的道路都被横木封死，你进退两难，便处于“尴尬”境地了。其本义为“阻碍”。类似逻辑如block阻碍，本义为“树干”，由“置木头于路中”引申为今义。
