Gripping and riveting are stronger than compelling and absorbing and are used especially to talk about stories, films or performances that are exciting and dramatic. Compelling can also be used to describe books, but it usually describes factual books that hold your attention because they are true or because their arguments are so good. Absorbing describes books, subjects or activities that hold your attention in a quieter way.这些词均形容事物有吸引力。比起compelling和absorbing,gripping和riveting语义较强烈,尤指故事、电影或演出激动人心、扣人心弦。compelling也可形容书,但通常是报道事实的作品,因为内容真实或论证精辟而引人入胜。absorbing形容书、主题或活动吸引人但又不过分刺激。
