小知识
When wind rhymes with “grinned,” it refers to moving air, as in a breeze, or what fills the sails of a boat. When wind rhymes with “kind,” it means to turn, as in winding one's watch.
There are all kinds of ways to wind: You can wind a ball of yarn, wind up to take a swing, or wind your way home. There are all types of wind, too, from a light breeze (top wind speed of 7 mph) to a hurricane-force wind (wind speed greater than 73 mph). A wind instrument is one where the music is made by blowing into or over a mouthpiece.

单词用法
这组词都可表示“绕或弯曲前进”。其区别在于:
wind指在轴或像轴一样的东西上转动、环绕或将其粘住,引申可指通过环绕而紧固、拉紧、抬起,也指逶迤前进;
coil指弯曲以形成螺旋状;
curl指天然地形成或人工地使头发形成大卷或小卷,引申指形成卷或圈的东西;
entwine常指扭在一起,有交织、交错、缠住的意思,有时仅指绕;
twine原指将长丝绕成线或纱锭,现在只强调将一灵活的东西绕在另一物上;
twist则指两股长丝相互缠绕,形成线或纱锭,引申指这样或那样地转,或突然地转,或扭转,或歪转。
