用法
It is true that discomfit originally meant 「to defeat, frustrate,」 and that its newer use meaning 「to embarrass, disconcert,」 probably arose in part through confusion with discomfort. But the newer sense is now the most common use of the verb in all varieties of writing and should be considered entirely standard.
discomfit 起初確實意為「打敗,挫敗」, 該詞的新意義是「使困窘,使窘迫」, 這個詞義的生成部分原因,可能是由於和discomfort 的混淆引起。 但是新的詞義現在在各種寫作中是該動詞的最普遍的用法,應被看作是完全標準的
