n.扭弯；扭曲

The incidents of sexual violence laid bare the horrible contortion of human nature inflicted by war. 性暴力事件揭示了战争对人性的极端扭曲。

Like a man possessed in slo-mo, he bends from one contortion to another as he explores hidden aspects of his newly minted universe. 在探索他这个新铸就的世界时，他像一个熟悉慢动作的人一样，将身子从一种扭曲状态变换到另外一种扭曲状态。
