Learner notes
Memory Tip
把一本厚厚的选集想象成一大束花，每朵花是不同作者的作品——anthology 就是‘选集’。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：literary criticism、publishing、academic writing 在表示文学选集时，多用于书面语，尤其常见于文学评论和出版语境；日常口语中用得较少。总体正式程度中性偏正式。
Pronunciation & Spelling
These words rhyme with anthology: biology, psychology, technology, mythology, and apology share the final stressed syllable /ɑlədʒi/. Note: anthem begins with the same letters an-th- and the same /ænθ/ sound, but its stress and ending are different, so it does not rhyme.
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 1，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
