EN:She goes, "Don't be blind to the facts."

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Blind"?Which "Blind" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He was blinded by the bright light.
✓He was blinded by the bright light.
This is actually correct. A common mistake is thinking 'blinded' is wrong here because it's passive, but 'blind' as a verb is often used in passive constructions to describe the effect on someone.
×The government tries to blind the public from the truth.
✓The government tries to blind the public to the truth.
The correct preposition after 'blind' (verb) when meaning 'to prevent from seeing or understanding' is 'to', not 'from'.
×She blinded the letter with a bright light.
✓She blinded the camera with a bright light.
The object of 'blind' is typically a person, animal, or a device like a camera that can 'see'. It is not used for inanimate objects like paper or letters that cannot perceive light.
×I will blind my eyes.
✓I will close/shut my eyes.
'Blind' as a verb means to make someone unable to see, either temporarily or permanently. It is not used reflexively for the voluntary action of closing one's eyes. Use 'close' or 'shut' instead.
×The accident blinded him to become depressed.
✓The accident left him blind and depressed. / Blinded in the accident, he became depressed.
'Blind' as a verb does not take an infinitive ('to become') as a complement to describe a result. Use a conjunction, participle phrase, or separate clause to express the subsequent state.
×The bright sun blinded out the view.
✓The bright sun blinded him. / The bright sun blocked out the view.
Confusion with the phrasal verb 'block out'. 'Blind' does not combine with 'out'. 'Blind' takes a person or seeing entity as its object.
