常见错误

❌ 错误:I need to ravel this problem.
✓ 正确:I need to ravel out this problem.

错误在于缺少介词 out,ravel 作及物动词时通常指使纠缠,而 ravel out 才表示解开或弄清问题,应加上 out 以明确含义。

❌ 错误:The story ravels quickly in the first chapter.
✓ 正确:The story unravels quickly in the first chapter.

错误在于混淆了 ravel 和 unravel,ravel 可表示纠缠或拆开,但 unravel 更常见于描述故事展开或问题解决,这里应用 unravel 表示情节展开。

近义词辨析

unravel

unravel 更强调解开或弄清,常用于比喻性问题或谜团的解决,而 ravel 可表示纠缠或拆开,含义更双向。

tangle

tangle 主要指使纠缠或混乱,通常带负面含义,而 ravel 可中性描述纠缠或拆开过程,更灵活。
