有人认为,英语通常用 mistake...for...,不用mistake...as。如:

通常不说:I mistook him as the minister.

通常应说:I mistook him for the minister. 我误以为他是牧师。

通常不说:She was mistaken as a government officer.

通常要说:She was mistaken for a government officer. 她被误认为是政府官员。


但牛津词典却认为完全可以说 mistake...as,所给例句是:

I mistook her offer as a threat. 我把她的好心错看成威胁了。
