常见错误：

含义
examine a subject in depth
搭配
delve into the details
|delve into the topic
|delve into the past
|delve into the data
|delve deeper into
|delve into the issue

Learners sometimes confuse this with the abstract meaning and say things like *"delve into the bag more deeply"* when they simply mean *"look into" or *"search"*. This physical meaning is usually clearly about hands or arms going into a container. In very casual contexts, verbs like *rummage* or *dig around* are more common.
含义
reach in and search by hand
搭配
delve into her bag
|delve into his pockets
|delve into the drawer
|delve around in the box
|delve into her handbag
近义词
rummage (stronger idea of searching in a messy or noisy way.)
|
fumble (emphasizes clumsy or uncertain movement more than searching itself.)
|

反义词
