Learner notes
Memory Tip
发音像“拉拜”，联想“拉比在礼拜”：rabbi 是犹太教的精神导师，主持礼拜。别被 rabbit 干扰，首字母虽同但意思无关。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：religious services、community events、news writing rabbi 属于中性词，正式感不强，但多用于犹太宗教或社群的礼仪场合；日常谈话中也可指犹太教神职人员。作为头衔称呼（如 Rabbi + 姓氏）时通常显得尊敬、较正式。
Pronunciation & Spelling
rabbi 的发音为 /ˈræbaɪ/，其中 'i' 发 /aɪ/。与 buy、high、tie、lie、why 等词押韵。注意拼写相近的 rabbit /ˈræbɪt/ 并不押韵，它的结尾是 /ɪt/，请勿混淆。
