รูปแบบการใช้:
in bewilderment
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes use *bewilderment* where *wonder* or *amazement* is better. *Bewilderment* always focuses on not understanding something, not just being impressed. For example, say "She watched in bewilderment" when she is confused, but "She watched in amazement" when she is surprised in a positive way and does understand what is happening.

confused surprise at something
A feeling of surprise and confusion because something happens that you did not expect and cannot explain.
รูปแบบการใช้:
[someone]'s bewilderment at [something]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes use *bewilderment* when they mean only strong surprise. Use *bewilderment* when the person is both surprised and confused, especially when they cannot explain the situation. If the person understands but is just surprised, words like *surprise* or *shock* are usually more natural.
คำพ้องความหมาย
astonishment (Focuses more on strong surprise; may include wonder, while bewilderment stresses not understanding.)
|
disbelief (Emphasizes not wanting or being able to accept something as true, not just being confused.)
คำตรงข้าม
recognition (Suggests that something is expected or familiar, not surprising or confusing.)
|
comprehension (Focuses on fully understanding an unexpected event instead of feeling confused by it.)
