よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes use only "think about" when they really mean a long and difficult mental struggle. "Wrestle with" suggests that the question or feeling is hard and often unpleasant, not just normal thinking. Also, learners sometimes say *"wrestle about a problem"*; the natural preposition is "with": "wrestle with a problem."

Learners sometimes confuse "wrestle" with "fight" and think it always includes punching or kicking. In wrestling, the main actions are holding, pushing, and throwing, usually without hitting. Also, some learners say *"wrestle someone"* when they mean a sport: you can say "wrestle" alone ("He loves to wrestle") or "wrestle with someone" ("He wrestled with his brother").

Learners may think this sense always involves another person, but it is also common with heavy or hard-to-move objects ("wrestle the box onto the shelf"). They may also overuse simple verbs like "move" or "pull" when they want to show strong effort; "wrestle" adds the idea of a real physical struggle.
意味
struggle physically to move or control
