陷阱
⚠️revolutionary vs. innovative：程度天壤之别
Streaming services made an innovative shift in media consumption, but quantum computing, if realised, would be truly revolutionary.
✗
innovative = revolutionary，都是「先进的」，可以互换
✓
innovative（创新的，在现有框架内改进——流媒体改变了看片方式但基础设施未变）vs. revolutionary（彻底颠覆现有秩序——量子计算若实现将使整个经典计算体系被淘汰）；两词程度差距极大，不可随意替换
流媒体服务在媒体消费上实现了创新性的转变，但量子计算若得以实现将是真正具有革命性的。
⚠️用 revolutionary 夸大普通改进
✗

手写笔记是成熟做法，不能称「革命性的」；revolutionary 须用于真正颠覆现有秩序的情形
✓
