Learner notes
Memory Tip
助记：拆成 'a + b + origine'，联想 b 代表最初的居民，origine 像 origin（起源），从起源地来的人就是原住民。（纯联想，非词源）
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：历史叙述、正式书面语、澳大利亚英语讨论 该词作为“原住民”通称时，多用于历史、人类学或正式书面语；在澳大利亚英语中指“澳大利亚原住民”时，通常被认为已过时且可能带有冒犯性，较常用 Aboriginal person 或 Indigenous person。

Pronunciation & Spelling
没有常用词与 aborigine 押韵。engine、imagine 虽以 -gine 结尾，但读作 /dʒɪn/；origin 也以 /dʒɪn/ 结尾。genie 读音相近但有长元音 /iː/；machine 的元音和重音都不同。请依据音标比较，不要只看拼写。
