Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：com(一起)+pan(锅)+ion，像同伴共用一个平底锅吃饭，所以 companion 是“陪伴”。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：正式书面语、文学叙事 作动词时，companion 并不常见，通常用于正式或文学性表达，表示“陪伴；陪同”。日常口语中更常用 accompany 或 keep somebody company。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正押韵的是 canyon /ˈkænjən/（重读元音及之后的读音相同）。union、onion、bunion、opinion 的 -nion 和 champion 的 -pion 只是拼写相近，读音都与 companion 不同，注意别受拼写误导。
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 2，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
