Wreak is sometimes confused with wreck, perhaps because the wreaking of damage may leave a wreck:The storm wreaked (not wrecked ) havoc along the coast. The past tense and past participle ofwreak is wreaked, not wrought, which is an alternative past tense and past participle ofwork.

Wreak 有时与 wreck 混淆， 可能是因为造成破坏可招致报复：The storm wreaked （不是 wrecked ) havoc along the coast（暴风雨给海岸带来灾难） 。 wreak 的过去时与过去分词为 wreaked, 不是 wrought, 它是work 的过去时和过去分词的另一种形式
