记忆方法: 1）首字母想成MFBG防备美国<==歪曲         "田"->"由"->"曲"是一组关系字(一对或一组字，字形差异很小，字义紧密相关)，曲和由都来自田，都表示庄稼地的边界被改变，"变得不再直"      "歪"是会意字，表示不正         故意deliberate和有意（有目的的）intentional的区别，故意总用于贬义，而有意是中性的，既可用于贬义也可用于褒义。由于本组4个词表示歪曲都是贬义，因此在这里故意deliberate和有意intentional已没有区别，都写成了"故意"

     2）歪曲的意思是说话违背事实mean to present or represent in a manner contrary to the truth.
