用 IVF 记 'in vitro fertilization'：vitro 是玻璃，受精发生在试管里，IVF 就是体外受精。
语域：formal 常见场景：生殖医学门诊、学术文献、健康科普 IVF 是 in-vitro fertilization 的缩写，多用于医学和生育相关的正式场合；日常口语中较少使用全称，但这个缩写本身比较正式，不算口语词。
IVF is pronounced /ˌaɪ viː ˈɛf/ (eye-vee-eff). The letter names eye /aɪ/, vee /viː/, and eff /ɛf/ build the initials; the final stressed /ɛf/ rhymes with chef /ʃɛf/. Ivy /ˈaɪvi/ keeps the same 'iv' spelling and sounds close to 'eye-vee', but its last vowel is /i/, not /iː/. If /ɪf/ looks like a shortened 'ivf' but has /ɪ/, so it does not rhyme.
