Memory Tip
联想 condone 像 con + done：事情‘done（完）’了就当作没发生，纵容、不追究。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：正式声明或官方表态、法律/政策讨论、道德评价 condone 多用于正式语体，表示“容忍、宽恕”不当行为，常见于法律、政策或道德讨论中；日常口语中较少使用。
Pronunciation & Spelling
押韵词：bone、phone、stone、tone、alone 以 -one 结尾，读 /əun/，与 condone 的 /-dəun/ 押韵；known 拼作 -own 但读音相同。注意 condone 的 -done 不读成 done（/dʌn/），而 done（/dʌn/）和 one（/wʌn/）也形似却不押韵。
