[誤] Nowadays, many girls seem to be bewitched by ghosts and they are determined to marry foreigners.

[正] Nowadays, many girls seem to have a bee in their bonnets and they are determined to marry foreigners.

注：have a bee in one\'s bonnet 的字面意思是“帽子里有只蜜蜂”，但它的真正意思是“想得入了迷”，與“鬼迷心竅”是一個(gè)意思。又如：She never stops talking about dieting---she\'s got a real bee in her bonnet about it(她不停地談?wù)摴?jié)食---完全鬼迷心竅了)。
