Question

delusion n.错觉；幻觉；妄想；欺骗 (1) 汤姆怀有错觉,认为自己是个要人。(2) 你提升的希望只不过是一种幻觉。(3) 他怀有自己是国王的妄想。(4) 他的论据听起来似乎有理，但根本上是欺骗性的。 The noun delusion is often used in the phrase delusions of grandeur, which expresses the belief that unattainable goals are well within reach, like a terrible actress's delusions of grandeur that she won't just land her first role in a movie, it also will make her an Academy Award winner. Delusions like that can be amusing for onlookers, but other kinds of delusions are not, like those suffered by the mentally ill. Their delusions can remove them from reality, making it hard to function.
