易混淆词
melt
EN: 'Melt' is general (any solid becoming liquid from heat); 'thaw' specifically refers to frozen things (ice, snow, frozen food) warming and softening.
zh: 'Melt'(融化)是通用词(指任何固体因受热而变为液体);'thaw'(解冻/融化)特指冰冻物体(如冰、雪、冷冻食品)变暖并变软的过程。
defrost
EN: 'Defrost' implies a deliberate action to remove frost or ice (e.g., defrosting a windshield); 'thaw' often describes a more natural or gradual process.
zh: 'Defrost'(除霜)暗示了为去除霜或冰而采取的有意行动(例如,给挡风玻璃除霜);'thaw'(解冻)通常描述更自然或渐进的过程。
拼写提示
EN: Avoid using 'unthaw' to mean 'thaw'—logically 'unthaw' would mean to freeze again, though it is sometimes used colloquially with the intended meaning of 'thaw.'
zh: 避免使用 'unthaw' 来表示 'thaw'——从逻辑上讲,'unthaw' 意味着再次冻结,尽管它在口语中有时被用来表示 'thaw' 的意思。
