deceive

动词，指用谎言、假象或其他手段误导别人，使对方相信不真实的事情；也常用于被动，表示“受骗、上当”。

💡 记忆钩子

想象有人把你引到一条看似正确、其实通向陷阱的路上：deceive的核心就是把人从真实处“带偏”，因此可以是欺骗别人，也可以说自己被带偏、受了骗。

📖 中文释义

verb

core 欺骗；误导

📖 指故意用谎言、假象或其他手段把别人带偏，让对方相信不真实的事情；重点在于对方的判断被改变或被蒙蔽。

💡 常见句型是 deceive + 人 + into doing sth，表示“欺骗某人使其做某事”，也可说 be deceived by + 人或事物。它既可用于具体骗局，也可用于较抽象的制度、广告或表象误导人；不要把中文“欺骗自己”机械理解成只涉及他人，英语中也可以说 deceive oneself。
