其实英式柯林斯里面收录了这一义项但是，英式英语里面将extract表示为〈抽身〉〈摆脱困境〉来讲，他们认为是错误的，他们会用extricate，《extricate oneself from the situation 从困境逃脱》，这也就是，美语与英语的区别吧，就好比美国人读Adidas 就不一样，但是美国强大，原本的误用，也成为词典的手录了。
0 P+ N% B: k6 L+ f$ A确实，在usage里有这么说明：Extract is sometimes wrongly used where extricate would be better: he will find it difficult extricating (not extracting) himself from this situation
