<p>我觉得是词典搞错了， 应该是 startle 才有”吃惊“的意思吧？</p>

This should, perhaps, be migrated to English SE?

While nobody can read chinese there, you can formulate your question like so:

I found a chinese-english dictionary that lists one meaning of "start t at ..." to be "startled because of ...", is this an actual meaning, or is this simply a mistake?

Since you are certain 因...吃惊 means "startled at" in english, this is, in its core, an English question, isn't it? You are not asking about "whether 因...吃惊 means startled at", which would be a Chinese question.

But anyways, I'm pretty sure the dictionary is wrong.

@Zuoanqh: "While nobody can read chinese there ..." Well, I wouldn't make that assumption. You never know.

@马化腾: Yes, I think you're right. It should be "startled at". Perhaps a typo? Mistake of a proof reader? Neverthess, a mistake.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it's not about Chinese language

Does this dictionary confuse "start at" with "startled at"?
