小知识
A curve is an arched or bent shape, like the curve of a smiling mouth or the curve of a road that twists and turns as you drive along the coast.
As a noun, a curve can be any shape that deviates from being perfectly straight. You can trace a curve on a graph, throw an arcing pitch in baseball called a curve ball, or just admire the curves of the rolling hills in the distance. And as a verb, curve means to make or form this non-straight shape: “When she's happy, my dog's tail curves up over her back.”

名词辨析
curve,arc,arch,bow
这四个词都指“弯曲,曲线”。curve含意最广,指任何一种不中断但不断改变方向的曲线;arc指弧线;arch指弓形物,拱门等;bow则指射箭用的弓,弓形物,指弯曲到“U”形之物。v.(动词)curve,bend,crook
这三个词的共同意思是“弯曲,扭弯”。它们之间的区别是1.curve指稍稍弯曲;bend指用力弯成角形或弧线;crook弯曲程度最大,成为钩形。2.bend可用于人,表示头或身子的折叠运动或三角形运动,即“弯腰,屈身”,用于比喻还可指“屈从”,而其他两词则没有此含义。curve,bend,bow,crook,twist这些动词都含“弯、弯曲”之意。curve指变成曲线或弧线状的动作或状态。bend普通用词,指把某物变成曲线或角形。用于人时,指头部或身躯弯下。bow指把头部或上身弯向前方的动作,也指社交中的礼节性动作。crook指不规则的弯曲,也指按照规则或模型弯曲某物。twist指通过转动、拧或扭使某物成弯曲状。
