Learner notes
Memory Tip
把complex记成“复杂的综合体”:许多相关建筑组成建筑群,多个部分合成化合物,被压制的念头聚成情结——都是一团紧密交织的整体。
Context & Register
语域:neutral 常见场景:建筑或设施介绍、化学教材、心理学讨论 作名词时通常为中性语体,多用于正式或书面描述,如建筑群、化合物或心理情结;口语中较少单独使用该词作名词。
Grammar Note
常与介词 of 连用,如 a complex of problems
Pronunciation & Spelling
名词 complex 读作 /ˈkɑmplɛks/,重音在第一个音节。没有常见的英文单词与它押韵:它的重读元音 /ɑ/ 和后面的 /mplɛks/ 没有共同匹配。列表中的 -plex 单词只是拼写相似:duplex、triplex、multiplex 和 perplex 都以 /plɛks/ 结尾,但重读元音各不相同,因此不与名词 complex 押韵。另外注意 complexion /kəmˈplɛkʃən/ 看似同族,但重读元音和末尾辅音都不同。
