Turn，Change，Convert，Transform
变。
🚩turn当“变成，成为”的意思，总是与into或者from...to...搭配使用，柯林斯解释为To turn or be turned into something means to become that thing.。
如：

He soon turned his dreams to reality.他不久便梦想成真了。
🚩change当“改变，变成，变换”的意思，也与into或者from...to...搭配使用，暗含的意思是“是状态或者形态发生改变”，并且change仅用于某物自然、自动或者如魔法一般发生的变化。如果是指人们经过努力或者用技能达成改变，或者环境改变某种情况，通常不用change。我们不说I manage to change the whole thing into a joke.，也不说A minor disagreement has changed into a major crisis.。柯林斯解释为When something changes or when you change it, it becomes different.。

🚩transform是指“是外观或者性质发生彻底改变，尤其是变好，改善，改观”，柯林斯解释为To transform something or someone means to change them completely and suddenly so that they are much better or more attractive.。它也指“使形态发生变化”，与change和convert同义，柯林斯解释为To transform something into something else means to change or convert it into that thing.。
