用法

Although tortuous and torturous both come from the Latin word torqu?, “to twist,” their primary meanings are distinct. Tortuous means “twisting” ( a tortuous road ) or by extension “complex” or “devious.” Torturous refers primarily to torture and the pain associated with it. However, torturous also can be used in the sense of “twisted” or “strained,” and tortured is an even stronger synonym:

尽管tortuous 和 torturous 都来自同一个拉丁词 torquere （“弯曲”）， 但这两个词的基本意思完全不同。Tortuous 的意思是“弯曲的”( 一条蜿蜓的道路 )或引申为“复杂”或“迂回”的意思。 Torturous 主要指折磨、痛苦以及与之相关的意思。 不过，Torturous 同样也有“扭曲的”和“受压的”意思， 而tortured 是一个意思更为强烈的同义词：

tortured reasoning.

极为复杂的推理
