Learner notes
Memory Tip
记忆:apart 是“分开”,-heid 像名词后缀 -hood;种族隔离就是把人按种族“分开”的制度,想起南非曾把黑人与白人隔离。
Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:南非种族隔离制度的历史叙述、政治与社会政策报道 apartheid 是正式且带有历史和政治色彩的名词,通常用于历史叙述、新闻报道或政治讨论中,多指南非过去的种族隔离制度;日常口语中较少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
apartheid 读作 /əˈpɑrˌtaɪt/,重音在 ap-,末尾 -theid 的读音相当于 appetite 的 -tite /taɪt/,并与 height /haɪt/、quite /kwaɪt/ 押韵。注意:开头的 apart 只是拼写相似,不能按 apart 的单独读音类推;这里 h 不发音,th 不读 /θ/,也不要读成“apart-heed”“a part hide”或“apart-hate”。
