14世纪中期, perplexite,“困惑,怀疑,不确定性”,源自于古法语 perplexite “混乱,困惑”,来自于晚期拉丁语 perplexitatem(主格 perplexitas),源自于拉丁语 perplexus “困惑的,涉及的,交织的”,源自于 per- “完全”和 plexus “纠缠”,过去分词形式为 plectere “编织”(来自于 PIE 词根 *plek- “编织”)。从1590年代开始,“引起困惑的事物,错综复杂的状态或混乱状态”。
The intellect of man is forced to choose
perfection of the life, or of the work,
And if it take the second must refuse
A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.
When all that story's finished, what's the news?
In luck or out the toil has left its mark:
That old perplexity an empty purse,
Or the day's vanity, the night's remorse.
[William Butler Yeats, "The Choice," 1933]
人类的智慧被迫做出选择
生活的完美,还是工作的完美,
如果选择后者,就必须放弃
一个天堂般的住所,在黑暗中狂暴。
当所有的故事都结束了,有什么新闻?
无论幸运还是不幸,辛勤劳作留下了它的印记:
那个古老的困惑,一个空荡荡的钱包,
或者是白天的虚荣,夜晚的懊悔。
[威廉·巴特勒·叶芝,“选择”,1933年]
