1. Im puzzled! 我給弄糊涂了！
puzzle vt. 使迷惑不解: This problem puzzled me very much 這道題真讓人不知道該怎么辦才好。puzzled puzzling 分詞結構常作形容詞用。通常指人時，用過去分詞形式；而指物，表示令人困惑的時，用的是現在分詞形式。如：I was puzzled by the puzzling question. 我被這令人困惑的問題弄得十分困惑。
2. The larger of the two islands is Britain, which lies to the east of Ireland. 兩個島嶼中較大的一個是不列顛，它位于愛爾蘭的東面。
