Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：神话与古典文学、日常口语（形容高大女性）、动物学（鹦鹉）、国际象棋（棋子） Amazon 的语域随义项变化：指希腊神话女战士时多见于历史或文学读物；指高大强壮的女性时多用于日常口语，常带戏谑或贬义；指鹦鹉时属中性物种名；指国际象棋棋子时属专业术语。日常形容人时需谨慎使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Amazon is /ˈæməzɑn/. None of these words rhyme with it: those ending in -zon (horizon, blazon, emblazon) and dozen end in the unstressed /zən/, while Amazon's final syllable is /zɑn/; also their stressed vowels differ. Amazing and amaze share the spelling amaz- but use /əˈmeɪz/, with a weak first syllable and a long /eɪ/, so they sound quite different from Amazon.
