With bewilder or perplex there is a sense of being upset or worried as well as being unable to understand. Something puzzles you when you don't know why it has happened or don't know what the answer is. Baffle and mystify are stronger words than puzzle; they suggest that you can't explain or understand sth at all. * confuse指令人茫然、不知如何是好。bewilder或perplex指令人不解,并且焦虑不安。puzzle指事情起因或问题答案不清楚而产生困惑。baffle和mystify比puzzle语气更强,指事物完全无法解释或理解而令人困扰。■defeat [transitive] (ratherformal) to be too difficult for sb to understand or answer使难以理解;难住◆The instruction manual completely defeated me.这份操作指南我完全看不懂。◆Question 6 defeated us.第6题难住了我们。■stump [transitive, usually passive] (informal) to ask sb a question that is too difficult for them to answer or give them a problem that they cannot solve难住;难倒◆At first I was stumped by the question.起初我被这个问题难住了。◆I'm stumped.
