To embroil someone is to pull them into a messy, difficult situation — often an argument, a fight, a court case, or a political trouble they did not ask for. You can embroil a person, a country, or a company. The feeling is: now they are tangled in it, and getting out will be hard.

You will hear this more in newspapers than at the dinner table: “the minister became embroiled in a scandal.” In everyday talk people more often say “got mixed up in” or “got dragged into.” Though actually, English almost always uses it in a set shape: become/get embroiled in something. A plain “they embroiled him” is possible, but “he became embroiled in…” is the line you will keep meeting.

You will hear this more in newspapers than at the dinner table你會比較常在報紙上聽到這說法，而不是在餐桌上：the minister became embroiled in a scandal「部長被捲入一樁醜聞」是常見的說法。In everyday talk日常說法裡 people more often say人們更常說 "got mixed up in" or "got dragged into""got mixed up in"或"got dragged into"。Though actually不過其實，English almost always uses it in a set shape英文幾乎都用固定形式：become/get embroiled in somethingbecome/get embroiled in something（捲入某事）。A plain "they embroiled him"單純說"they embroiled him" is possible不是不行，but但是 "he became embroiled in…""he became embroiled in…" is the line you will keep meeting才是你會一直遇到的說法。

It is a fairly formal word, and it is about trouble, not about cooking, even though it looks a little like broil. The French source means “to tangle” or “to mix up,” from a picture of stirring things into a stew.
