Deceive is probably the worst because people typically deceive friends, relations and others who know and trust them. People may feel cheated/betrayed by sb in authority who they trusted to look after their interests. If sb takes you in, they may do it by acting a part and using words and charm effectively. If sb cheats/fools/tricks/cons you, they may get sth from you and make you feel stupid. However, sb might fool you just as a joke; and to trick sb is sometimes seen as a clever thing to do, if the person being tricked is seen as a bad person who deserves it.以上各词多含使人将假话信以为真之义,但其中有些词贬义较另一些词强。deceive 大概贬义最强,主要指欺骗朋友、亲戚和其他认识和信任自己的人。相信掌权者能够顾全自己利益却遭欺骗可用 feel cheated/betrayed。通过装腔作势或花言巧语等骗人用 take sb in。哄骗、愚弄他人用 cheat/fool/trick/con。只为开玩笑可用 fool。如果被戏弄者是应该受到惩罚的坏人,可用 trick,表示计谋巧妙。Patternsto cheat/fool/trick/con sb out of sthto cheat/fool/deceive/betray/trick/con sb into doing sthto feel cheated/fooled/deceived/betrayed/tricked/connedto fool/deceive yourselfto cheat/trick/con your way into sthSee also fool |
