These words all mean to make sb believe sth that is not true, especially in order to get what you want.以上各词均含使人误信之义,尤指有目的地这样做。

to make sb believe sth that is not true, especially in order to laugh at them or to get what you want指蒙骗、愚弄:

Just don't be fooled into investing any money with them.

to make sb believe sth that is not true, especially sb who trusts you, in order to get what you want尤指利用别人的信任欺骗、蒙骗、诓骗:

She deceived him into handing over all his savings.

to hurt sb who trusts you, especially by deceiving them or not being loyal to them指辜负别人的信任:

[often passive] to deceive sb, usually in order to get what you want通常指为个人目的而欺骗、蒙骗:

我被她的花言巧语蒙骗了。

to deceive sb, especially in a clever way, in order to get what you want尤指以巧妙的方式欺骗、欺诈

( rather informal ) to deceive sb, especially in order to get money from them or get them to do sth for you尤指为钱财或使人为自己做事而欺骗、哄骗、诈骗:

他们被骗走了10万英镑。

Many of these words involve making sb believe sth that is not true, but some of them are more disapproving than others. Deceive is probably the worst because people typically deceive friends, relations and others who know and trust them. People may feel cheated/betrayed by sb in authority who they trusted to look after their interests. If sb takes you in they may do it by acting a part and using words and charm effectively. If sb cheats/fools/tricks/cons you, they may get sth from you and make you feel stupid. However, sb might fool you just as a joke; and to trick sb is sometimes seen as a clever thing to do, if the person being tricked is seen as a bad person who deserves it.
