bewilderment vs confusion
「bewilderment」強調因情況極度複雜或陌生而產生的「完全不知所措」；「confusion」則泛指一般的「困惑、混亂」，程度較輕。
bewilderment vs perplexity
「bewilderment」側重情感上的「迷失與慌亂」；「perplexity」則更側重理智上的「複雜難解」，是較書面的用詞。
bewilderment vs bafflement
兩者非常接近，常可互換。細微差別在於「bafflement」更強調因「完全無法理解」而受阻的感覺。

「bewilderment」是名詞，不能當形容詞使用。描述狀態時應使用「state of bewilderment」或形容詞「bewildered」。
×His face showed bewilderment.
✓His face showed bewilderment. / His face showed a look of bewilderment.
單獨使用「bewilderment」作為抽象名詞是正確的，但若想更具體描述「一種困惑的表情」，可使用「a look of bewilderment」。原句文法沒錯，但學習者常誤以為必須加冠詞。
×I am full with bewilderment.
✓I am full of bewilderment.
表達「充滿...」時，固定搭配是「full of」，不是「full with」。
×I have many bewilderments about this topic.
✓I have many sources of bewilderment about this topic. / I am in great bewilderment about this topic.
「bewilderment」是不可數名詞，指「困惑的狀態」，不能加「s」或用「many」修飾。若要表達多個令人困惑的點，需換用其他說法。

「bewilderment」是名詞，其動詞形式是「bewilder」。沒有「bewilderment」這個動詞。
×I felt a strong bewilderment, like confusion.

「bewilderment」本身就是「confusion」的一種（更強烈、更突然的困惑），用「like confusion」解釋顯得多餘且不自然。應直接使用或說明其強度。
