语域:mixed 常见场景:sports news、formal writing、local US contexts、philosophical texts 作名词时,通常指“参加奥运会的运动员”,多用于体育新闻等中性场合;表示“杰出人物”时偏正式,比较常见于书面或文学性表达;“奥林匹亚市居民”和神学义项很罕见,分别限于美国当地语境和专业文献。
没有与 /əuˈlimpiən/ 完全押韵的常用词。拼写相似的词中:champion /ˈtʃæmpiən/ 的重读元音是 /æ/;thespian /ˈθɛspiən/ 是 /ɛ/;utopian /juːˈtoʊpiən/ 和 Ethiopian /ˌiːθiˈoʊpiən/ 是 /oʊ/;simian /ˈsɪmiən/ 虽重读 /ɪ/,但后面没有 /p/。这些词都不与 olympian 押韵,拼写相近不等于读音相同。
