语域：formal 常见场景：formal writing、academic texts、legal/medical language cessation 是正式用词，通常用于书面语、学术或法律/医学等正式语境，表示“停止；中止”；日常口语中更常用 stop 或 ending。
These words end in the sound /ˈseɪʃən/, which matches the stressed final parts of cessation /seˈseɪʃən/: nation, location, relation, vacation, conversation. Be careful: concession looks similar (the -cess- spelling) but is pronounced /kənˈseʃən/ with /e/, not /eɪ/, so it does not rhyme.
