Is it okay to use 'confide my life' as a phrase?

If not, what are the better alternatives?

(I wanna say I want to confide something (e.g. my experience) to others through a page, but I am not sure if the grammar or vocab is correct.)

Thanks :)

✔ 最佳答案
I wanna say I want to confide something (e.g. my experience) to others.
這句(先省去最後though a page)是正確的gramma句子結構,但你問的句子'confide my life'的my life則不是"experience"or"something"about you.
所以意義上不會這樣寫/講的,你可以confide my life-long secrete[意思是你一生以來收藏的秘密],或者confide my thoughts on life[意思是你對人生的想法(從沒跟別人透露的)];甚至可以說I like to confide with you.[意思是我想跟你私談一些秘密(不用說明所說的是甚麼,重點是表達我對你絶對信任可以守秘密)]

因此按你的解釋原意,一是說明你要confide的something是甚麼,但亦不會組成phrase,而是會說I want to confide to you about X.
另外留意confide後的preposition亦會產生不同意思:confide to=透露,confide in=信任

confide
From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English
confide / verb [transitive]
1. to tell someone you trust about personal things that you do not want other people to know
confide to somebody that
He confided to his friends that he didn’t have much hope for his marriage.
2. formal to give something you value to someone you trust so they look after it for you
confide something to somebody
He confided his money to his brother’s safekeeping
由上可看出confide 是有點嚴肅的用語,life意義更多,且不少更嚴肅(會造成句意難懂),故何不用較簡單、輕鬆一點的用語如:
I am willing to tell you (告訴別人自己的私事應該不是很多人 - others ) the following things abou my past which I have never told anyone …
