When something is puzzling, your mind cannot settle on it. You look again, you turn it around, and you still cannot say why it is that way.

When something is puzzling當某件事是puzzling(令人費解)的，your mind cannot settle on it你的腦袋就是沒辦法定下來。You你 look again再看一次，you turn it around把它翻來覆去想，and you still cannot say why it is that way還是說不出為什麼會這樣。

A look can be puzzling, a silence, a test result, a friend's sudden change — the word fits anything that should make sense but does not. It is everyday English, not a lab word.

A look can be puzzling一個眼神可以是puzzling的，a silence一段沉默，a test result一個測驗結果，a friend's sudden change朋友突然的改變——the word fits anything that should make sense but does not這個字適用於任何本該說得通卻說不通的事。It它 is everyday English是日常英文，not a lab word不是實驗室的專業用詞。

It is a little softer than mysterious: mysterious can feel dark or secret; puzzling just does not add up.

It它 is a little softer than mysterious比mysterious(神祕)稍微溫和一點：mysterious mysterious can feel dark or secret可能給人陰暗或隱密的感覺；puzzling puzzling just does not add up只是單純說不通而已。

Though actually, people also use it as a polite shield. 'That's puzzling' can mean 'I think you are wrong, but I am not going to fight.' The person who cannot understand is puzzled; the thing that causes the feeling is puzzling. That pair is the whole trick of the word.

Though actually不過事實上，people人們 also use it as a polite shield也會把它當成禮貌的擋箭牌。'That's puzzling'「That's puzzling(這真令人費解)」 can mean可能意思是「I think you are wrong, but I am not going to fight我覺得你錯了，但我不想吵」。The person who cannot understand那個搞不懂的人 is puzzled是puzzled(感到困惑)；the thing that causes the feeling造成這種感覺的那件事 is puzzling才是puzzling(令人費解)的。That pair這一對詞 is the whole trick of the word就是這個字的全部訣竅。
