Confused

困惑

Expressing your confusion will create even more confusion. It's better to just say what you are confused about and ask questions. Saying you are "confused" gives people the impression that either you don't understand something or that the topic is confusing to you.

表露你的困惑會產生更多的困惑。更好的做法是說出你困惑然后提出問題。表達你很‘困惑'給別人留下的印象是要么有些事你不明白或者這個話題使你迷惑。

I'm confused about my team leader's work expectations.

我搞不懂領導想做什么。

I'm confused if he wants to seriously continue this relationship.

我就納了悶兒了，他到底想不想認真地繼續這段關系？

Sometimes, a confusing situation is to be blamed for the ambivalence of might and the defeatist attitude of won't. If you don’t know what your work objective is, you won't be able to take steps to get there. If you don't know how you stand in a relationship, you won't know how committed you can be. Get yourself out of the confusion to a place of clear understanding by speaking to your team leader or your significant other. Ask clear, direct questions. Explain you want to understand their expectations so you can act accordingly, from not confident to sure of yourself.

模棱兩可的狀況和不戰而敗的態度總會讓人困惑不已。不明確工作目標，你如何知道下一步該做什么？不清楚自己在一段關系中位置，又怎能知道內心是否堅定？逃避掉種種問題，最后就只剩下一聲confused。最好的辦法就是先搞清狀況，之后自信滿滿地做你該做的事。
