易错句子This medicine will release the pain in my back.
正确表达This medicine will relieve the pain in my back.
release 表示“释放、放走、发行、排放”，并不表示“减轻（疼痛、症状）”；汉语的“缓解疼痛”对应 relieve，所以应把 release 换成 relieve。

易错句子The prisoner released last week.
正确表达The prisoner was released last week.
release 是及物动词，必须带宾语；汉语“犯人上周被释放了”是被动意思，英语也须用 be released 的被动结构，不能省略 be 而直接把 released 当谓语。

易错句子She is looking forward to release her new album.
正确表达She is looking forward to releasing her new album.
look forward to 中的 to 是介词，后面要接名词或动名词，不能接动词原形；因此这里要用 releasing 而不是 release。
release 侧重“放开、释放（人或物）”或“发行、排放”，relieve 侧重“减轻痛苦、压力、负担”，宾语常是 pain、stress、pressure 等；不能说 release pain，要说 relieve pain。两者仅在“释放/缓解紧张情绪”等少数语境下意思接近，但搭配不同。
在“发布声明、报告、命令”等语境下，release 和 issue 常可互换，但 issue 更正式，多用于官方或组织发布文件；release 更通用，还可指“释放”或“上映/上市”。注意 release a prisoner（释放囚犯）不能用 issue。
release 可泛指释放任何东西（人、气体、能量、信息等），emit 更专门指发出光、热、气体、声音等，带技术或科学色彩；在“排放气体”上两者都可用，但 emit 更强调源头持续发出。
