Nǐ hǎo Benny,

Thanks for your reply in my previous post. Please take a look at this sentence:

小心翼翼又陷下去聪明糊涂心

Just for your info, this sentence is part of the lyrics sang by Jolin Cai (Song title is Love, Love, Love)

May I know what does this sentence means? And I am confused with the usage 陷 xiàn here. Why isn’t 陷阱 instead? as u mentioned in the previous post.

Can you give me some examples on how to use 糊涂 and 期待?

Thanks alot Benny. May u have a blessed day

Hi Henry,

In this sentence, this “陷” is used as verb which means “subside”

糊涂 hú tú = confuse.

我糊涂了 = I get confused

期待 qī dài = look forward to

我期待与你见面 = I look forward to meeting you.

By the way: the correct lyrics is “小心翼翼又陷下去总比糊涂行” It means you sink into the love trap, this is better than you get confused
