Common mistakes

annex 是及物动词,必须带宾语,不能像不及物动词那样直接加 to 表示“依附于”。要表达“是…的附属建筑”,可用被动语态 be annexed to,或直接用名词结构 an annex of。

Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:建筑、机构 annex 作名词指附属建筑或增建部分,通常用于正式或书面表达,比较常见于建筑和机构相关描述;日常口语中更常说 extension。
Pronunciation & Spelling
annex 中的 -ex 读 /ɛks/,与 flex、sex、checks 的尾音 /ɛks/ 相同,但 annex 重音在首音节 /æ/,这些单音节词重音就在 /ɛks/ 上,因此严格说并不与 annex 押韵。拼写相近的 next /nɛkst/ 结尾多一个 /t/;index 和 complex 的 -ex 也读 /ɛks/,但重音和前面的辅音不同。
