Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想“audio（音频）”开头的aud-与“听”有关：试镜/试演时，评委正是用耳朵来听的。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：theater and film auditions、audiology and hearing tests、formal or literary writing audition 在表演领域通常指“试演/试镜”，属中性日常用法；在医学或正式语体中多指“听力、听觉功能”，比较正式。整体语域标记为混合（mixed），实际使用应根据上下文判断。
Grammar Note
可数名词，常表示试演；复数形式为auditions。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都与 audition 以 /ɪʃən/ 结尾押韵（通常拼作 -ition）。注意形近词 audio /ˈɔːdi.oʊ/ 和 audible /ˈɔːdəbəl/ 虽以 audi- 开头，但发音和结尾不同，并不押韵。
