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:
儘管tortuous 和 torturous 都來自同一個拉丁詞 torquere （「彎曲」）， 但這兩個詞的基本意思完全不同。Tortuous 的意思是「彎曲的」( 一條蜿蜓的道路 )或引申為「複雜」或「迂迴」的意思。 Torturous 主要指折磨、痛苦以及與之相關的意思。 不過，Torturous 同樣也有「扭曲的」和「受壓的」意思， 而tortured 是一個意思更為強烈的同義詞：
tortured reasoning.
極為複雜的推理
