语境与语域Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:everyday conversation、news and political commentary 作动词时通常属中性,多用于一般或非正式语境,指通过反复灌输或强制手段使人接受某种观念;正式文体中较少直接用,可换用 indoctrinate 等词。作名词较少见,常用 brainwashing。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
brainwash 的重音在第一个音节 brain 上;末尾的 wash 与 wash、whitewash 的 /wɒʃ/ 读音相同,brain 和 brainy 保留了开头的 /breɪn/ 读音。squash 与 wash 押 /ɒʃ/ 韵,但 brainwash 因重音在 brain,不能简单地与这些词押整词韵。注意 splash 拼写像 wash,但读 /splæʃ/,发音不同。
