易错句子The documentary very riveting.
正确表达The documentary is very riveting.
汉语说"这部纪录片非常引人入胜"时，形容词前不用系动词；但 riveting 是形容词，在英语里作表语必须搭配 be 动词，所以本句要补上 is。

易错句子The documentary was riveted, so I watched it twice.
正确表达The documentary was riveting, so I watched it twice.
-ing 形容词说明引起感受的事物，-ed 形容词说明人的感受。纪录片是"令人着迷"的一方，故用 riveting，不能用表示"人感到入迷"的 riveted。

易错句子This novel is very more riveting than the film.
正确表达This novel is much more riveting than the film.
受汉语"更……得多"的影响，学习者常在比较级前加 very；英语中修饰比较级要用 much（或 far、a lot），very 只能修饰原级形容词。
gripping 侧重因紧张、悬念而让人放不下，多修饰惊悚、悬疑类作品；riveting 强调牢牢吸住注意力，语气更强，还可修饰演讲、表演等。
compelling 强调因有说服力或极强的吸引力而令人无法忽视，常与证据、理由、故事搭配；riveting 只强调吸引注意力，不含说服之意。
fascinating 指因新奇有趣而使人着迷，语气比 riveting 平和；riveting 更强调让人无法移开视线的那种强烈吸引力。
