语境与语域Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：literal: describing patterns made of squares、figurative: describing a career or history with mixed fortunes chequered 通常有字面和比喻两种用法：字面义指有方格图案的，语气中性；比喻义（如 a chequered career）形容经历起伏、好坏参半，多用于书面或较正式语境，口语中不常见。
发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
chequered 英式读作 /ˈtʃɛkəd/。这些词都不是完全押韵。conquered /ˈkɒŋkəd/ 与 chequered 都含 -quered 拼写，且英式读音结尾相近，但重读元音不同。cheque /tʃɛk/ 的读音正是 chequered 的第一个音节。covered、considered 只是拼写以 -ered 结尾，英式读音末尾都是 /əd/，但重音和辅音不同，需注意。mosquito、technique 中的 qu 也读 /k/，但元音和重音不同，不要照拼写读。
