中文名词“革命”可以直接放在名词前作定语，如“革命变化”。但英语中要用形容词修饰名词，revolution 是名词，不能作定语；表示“革命性的”要用形容词 revolutionary。所以应把 revolution 改为 revolutionary。

正确表达The revolution broke out in 1911.
revolutionary 是形容词，不能单独作名词指“革命”这个事件（作名词时指“革命者”）。中文“革命”既是名词也是形容词，容易导致误用。这里需要名词 revolution 来作主语，表示“革命爆发”。

易错句子The process was revolutionary and took millions of years.
正确表达The process was evolutionary and took millions of years.
revolutionary 强调突然的、颠覆性的变化，evolutionary 强调逐渐的、演化的变化。中文“革命的”和“进化的”不同，但英语中这两个形容词形似，容易混淆。句中“took millions of years”表示漫长的时间，与 revolutionary 的“突然”含义矛盾，所以应用 evolutionary。
