misguided

Compared meaning: wrong in belief or judgment (adjective).

比较义项：错误的，判断有误的（形容词）。

• mistaken

  Describes a person (or their belief) as simply wrong about a fact; neutral tone, often used with 'I was mistaken' or 'a mistaken belief'.

  描述某人（或其看法）在某个事实上单纯弄错了；语气中性，常用「我错了」「一种错误的看法」这类说法。

  I was mistaken about the meeting time yesterday.

  我昨天把开会时间弄错了。

• misguided 本词

  Describes a decision, belief, or effort as wrong because it was based on flawed ideas or motives; implies pity or criticism, not personal fact-checking.

  形容某个决定、信念或努力因为出发点或想法有误而是错的；带有惋惜或批评意味，而不是单纯指某人把事实弄错。

  His decision to quit school seemed misguided to his parents.

  在他父母看来，他辍学的决定似乎是被误导的。

Mistaken and misguided both describe a wrong belief or decision. Mistaken means a person got a fact wrong; it is neutral, as in 'I was mistaken'. Misguided means a decision followed bad ideas or motives; it sounds critical. Not compared: mistaken as 'wrongly identified'.

两词都表示某人的看法、判断或决定是错的，但 mistaken 更常指某人自己「弄错了」某个具体事实或情况，可用于第一人称、语气较中性；misguided 则强调判断或决定的「方向」有误，往往是被错误的想法或动机带偏，带有惋惜甚至批评意味，常修饰 decision、belief、attempt 等名词。这里不比较 mistaken 作「误认」（如 mistaken identity，把某人认错）等其他用法。
