易错句子He furrow his brow when he is thinking hard.

易错句子She furrowed at his rude joke.
正确表达She frowned at his rude joke.
furrow 作动词是及物动词，后面必须接宾语（如 brow、forehead 或土地等），表示“皱起、犁出沟”，不能像不及物动词那样说 furrow at sb。表示“对某人皱眉”要用不及物动词 frown at sb，或改说 furrow one's brow at sb。

易错句子He furrowed his eyebrow and said nothing.
正确表达He furrowed his brow and said nothing.
英语里描述皱眉这个动作的固定搭配是 furrow one's brow/brows，brow 指额头、眉部；eyebrow 指单条眉毛，不用于这一搭配，所以应把 eyebrow 改为 brow。
此处指与 furrow（使起沟痕或皱纹）相对，表示使表面平滑或恢复平整，如使土地平整、使眉头舒展；注意 furrow 可指犁沟或皱眉，smooth 作动词可覆盖这两种相反动作。
furrow 是及物动词，通常要带宾语，如 furrow one's brow（使额头皱起）；frown 多作不及物动词，直接表示皱眉，不必带宾语。
wrinkle 侧重皮肤或布料本身起皱，可及物也可不及物，如 wrinkle one's nose；furrow 特指额头形成深沟般的皱纹，常与 brow 搭配。
两者都可表示皱眉，但搭配固定：knit 多用于 knit one's brows，强调眉毛聚拢；furrow 多用于 furrow one's brow，强调额头上的深皱褶。
