记忆技巧Memory Tip
发音像“安提”，想象牌局开始先把钱放到桌上——ante 就是底注，也可作动词“下注”。
语境与语域Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：扑克牌局、牌桌上下注 作名词时指牌局开始前下的底注，作动词时指下赌注；两者都多用于扑克等牌类游戏场景，语气整体比较中性。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
以上几个词都与 ante /ˈænti/ 押韵：重读元音 /æ/ 后都是 /nti/。末尾拼写可以是 -ti（如 anti）或 -ty（如 shanty、scanty、panty）。注意形近词：ant /ænt/ 只有一个音节，没有末尾的 /i/；late /leɪt/ 虽然也以 -te 结尾，但读作 /leɪt/，并不押韵。
