Memory Tip
前缀a意为“不”,symmetrical是“对称”,记住a加对称就是不对称,像两边长短不一的形状。
Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:general descriptive writing、design and fashion、mathematics and science、formal logic and rhetoric 作为“不对称的”时,该词通常可用于日常描述和较正式的书面语,比如设计、数学、科学等领域;而表示“虚假两难”时,比较常见于逻辑或修辞方面的正式论述。日常口语中更常说 not symmetrical 或 lopsided。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词中,symmetrical、metrical、geometrical 与 asymmetrical 一样都以 /ˈmɛtrɪkəl/ 结尾,押韵;asymmetric 与 asymmetrical 拼写相近、读音也近似,但以 /ˈmɛtrɪk/ 结尾,少了 /əl/,不构成完整押韵;asymptomatic 虽以 asym 开头,但读作 /ˌeɪsɪmptəˈmætɪk/,含 /p/ 且重音在 /mæt/ 上,注意勿混淆。
