学习 confuse 时表示混淆时记得用的是 confuse A with B,这里 confuse A for B 是否有错呢?尝试查询 confuse ... for ... 也没有在柯林斯查到类似的用法.
confuse A with B 是正确用法,很多词典都可以查到这个搭配,如朗文,剑桥等。the free dictionary 把confuse A with B,列为idiom。在美国英语中,特别是非正式文体(包括小说),confuse A for B 也经常看到,但有些母语的人认为是错的。你可以参考WR英语论坛的一个链接:https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/i-confused-you-with-for-someone-else.3133567/
