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.

表露你的困惑会产生更多的困惑。更好的做法是说出你困惑然后提出问题。表达你很‘困惑'给别人留下的印象是要么有些事你不明白或者这个话题使你迷惑。

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

我搞不懂领导想做什么。

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

我就纳了闷儿了，他到底想不想认真地继续这段关系？

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.

模棱两可的状况和不战而败的态度总会让人困惑不已。不明确工作目标，你如何知道下一步该做什么？不清楚自己在一段关系中位置，又怎能知道内心是否坚定？逃避掉种种问题，最后就只剩下一声confused。最好的办法就是先搞清状况，之后自信满满地做你该做的事。
