solve
to find a solution, explanation, or answer for <solve a problem> <solved the crime>
尋求解決方法

resolve
a : to deal with successfully : clear up <resolve doubts> <resolve a dispute> b : to find an answer to c : to make clear or understandable d : to find a mathematical solution of e : to split up (as a vector) into two or more components especially in assigned directions
b的解釋和solve差不多，其他的可能含義更多一點(diǎn)。

solve 一般用于解決難題，如solve a problem, solve a riddle, solve an algebra problem。
而resolve 是用在解決矛盾，或者是解決大難題，較顯示問(wèn)題的嚴(yán)重性，如resolve a conflict, resolve differences，resolve a crisis。
solve 也可用于resolve的句例里。
