易错句子The government tried to salve the problem with more money.
正确表达The government tried to solve the problem with more money.
salve 表示“安抚、缓解（情绪、良心等）”或“涂药膏”，不能表示“解决（问题）”；“解决”要用 solve。若要表达“缓解”，宾语应是被安抚的对象，如 pain、conscience、pride。

易错句子He salved the document before the computer shut down.
正确表达He saved the document before the computer shut down.
salve 与 save 拼写相近但词义不同：salve 指“安抚、缓解”或“涂药膏”，表示“保存（文件）”要用 save，过去式为 saved。
assuage 只表示使愧疚、恐惧、痛苦等感受减弱；salve 除“安抚、缓和”外，还可表示给伤处涂药膏或敷药治疗。单纯说情绪缓和时两者都可能成立，但涉及实际敷药处理时只能用 salve。
cure 直接表示把疾病治好或消除问题，不强调敷药动作；salve 的“治愈、补救”义还带有“用药膏敷治”的具体含义，另有“安抚”义。若宾语是具体疾病并强调治好，用 cure 更直接。
greet 泛指对人问候或迎接；salve 的“问候”义特指向人说“salve”（一种问候语），也可表示致敬，不用于一般的门口迎接或日常打招呼。
