n. (名词)

curve, arc, arch, bow

• 这四个词都指“弯曲,曲线”。curve含意最广,指任何一种不中断但不断改变方向的曲线; arc指弧线; arch指弓形物,拱门等; bow则指射箭用的弓,弓形物,指弯曲到“U”形之物。

v. (动词)

curve, bend, crook

• 这三个词的共同意思是“弯曲,扭弯”。它们之间的区别是:
• 1.curve指稍稍弯曲; bend指用力弯成角形或弧线; crook弯曲程度最大,成为钩形。
• 2.bend可用于人,表示头或身子的折叠运动或三角形运动,即“弯腰,屈身”,用于比喻还可指“屈从”,而其他两词则没有此含义。
