记忆技巧Memory Tip
记忆:aggravated 由 aggravate(加重)变来——事态加重、病情加重,人也变得恼火。联想“加重的坏消息让人恼火”。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域:mixed 常见场景:informal spoken English、legal/medical/formal documents 作形容词时,aggravated 有两个常见含义,语体不同:表示“恼火的、愤怒的”时多用于日常口语;表示“加重的、更严重的”时常见于法律、医学等正式语体。使用时应根据语境判断。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
以上词均与 aggravated 拼写相似,都以 -ated 结尾,且词尾都读 /eɪtɪd/,但它们与 aggravated 并不押韵,因为重音所在音节及重读元音不同。注意:aggravated 读 /ˈæɡrəveɪtɪd/,其他词的重音和元音各异;仅凭 -ated 拼写无法确定发音。
