什么时候不可以互换呢???

They are NOT interchangeable.

Contort is usually used to describe a situation physically changed from its original shape. (Twisted or bend violently or unnaturally.

Distort is used to describe some intentional misrepresentation. (The media distorted the author's original statement.)

contort ---(使)扭曲, 扭曲 例句: hat we worry about is that history may repeat itself because Japanese government means to forget, contort, and conceal history, which we can never forgive.
我们担心历史会重演,因为日本政府妄图遗忘、歪曲、掩盖历史,是可忍,孰不可忍!

distort ---弄歪 后面接的是(嘴脸等), 扭曲, 歪曲 后面接的是(真理、事实等)
有时候是可以互换的。
