英英释义：to make someone confused, or make something more difficult to understand
例句：Don’t allow anger and fear to cloud your judgment.
2. 体会这个词 （进阶篇）
“cloud”作为名词表示“云”的用法我们很熟悉，其实它也常作为动词使用，主要意思是“使难以理解”“使无法正确判断”，这种用法准确、形象、实用，我们用几个例句掌握它的用法。 cloud 作为动词表示“使无法正确判断”时，后面常接有关判断力、理智的名词，比如最常见的有 judgment/mind/vision/analysis 等。
比如我们想表达不要让愤怒和恐惧影响你的判断力，就可以说成：
Don’t allow anger and fear to cloud your judgment.
很多时候我们的臆断和刻板印象会干扰我们正确看待一件事，这时就可以说：
More often than not, assumptions and stereotypes would cloud people’s mind.
最后我们看一个《经济学人》中的句子：
News Corporation's shareholders have long agreed, arguing that Rupert Murdoch's abiding love for newsprint has clouded his judgment and tainted his media empire.
