记忆：anguish 与 anger 都带 ang-，但 anger 是生气，anguish 是更深、更折磨人的痛苦。
语域：formal 常见场景：文学或诗歌描写、正式书面表达、心理或情感描写 anguish 作动词时多用于文学或正式书面语，表示“感到极度痛苦”或“使遭受极大痛苦”。口语中更常用名词 anguish 或动词 hurt、suffer。
Only languish /ˈlæŋɡwɪʃ/ rhymes with anguish. Language /ˈlæŋɡwɪdʒ/ looks similar but ends in /dʒ/, not /ʃ/. Vanquish /ˈvæŋkwɪʃ/ uses /kwɪʃ/, and extinguish /ɪkˈstɪŋɡwɪʃ/ (like distinguish and relinquish) has stress before the final -guish, so none of them rhyme with anguish.
