Memory Tip
把 celluloid 拆成 cell（细胞）+ loid，想象旧电影胶片上像细胞一样排列的画面，记住它指赛璐珞塑料和电影。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：材料/工业、电影/媒体 该词通常用于正式或书面语境，尤其在谈及早期塑料材料或电影媒介时带有历史或文学色彩；日常口语中较少使用。
Grammar Note
通常不可数，指一种材料。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -oid 结尾。只有 avoid 和 void 真正押韵，因为它们都以主要重音落在 /ɔɪd/ 上。celluloid 的主要重音在第一个音节 /ˈsɛl-/，末尾的 /lɔɪd/ 只是次要重音，所以它和 tabloid、android、asteroid、steroid 一样，只能算拼写和结尾声音的相似词，不能与 avoid/void 押韵。
