Learner notes
Memory Tip
把 romance 动词记成“浪漫一下”：嘴上调情、编浪漫谎话，心里并不当真。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：formal prose or literary narration、informal conversation 作动词时，romance 的语域因义项而异：表示“与…恋爱/向…求爱”多用于较正式或文学性叙述；表示“编造浪漫或夸张的话”则多见于非正式口语。请根据具体使用场合选择。
Grammar Note
作为不及物动词，意为编造浪漫故事或幻想，常与about连用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正押韵的是 dance、chance、glance、advance、enhance：它们与 romance 第二个音节的重读 /mæns/ 押韵（/æns/）。注意别把 balance、distance、importance 中不重读的 -ance /əns/ 当作押韵，它们拼写相似但发音不同。
